What is Solar Thermal?

Solar thermal technology harnesses the sun's energy to generate heat for various applications. Commonly, it is used for heating water (domestic hot water or swimming pools), space heating, and for generating electricity in concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. CSP plants use mirrors or lenses to focus a large area of sunlight onto a small area, heating a working fluid to drive a turbine and generate electricity.
