Solar Power Generation
Solar thermal power plants use the Sun as a heat source. In order to generate a high enough temperature for a power plant, solar energy must be concentrated. In a solar thermal power plant this is normally achieved with mirrors. Estimates for global solar thermal potential indicate that it could more than provide for total global electricity needs.
