Solar power is electricity produced from the radiation of the sun. The energy of the sun can be captured and converted into power directly with [[photovoltaic]] solar panels, PV, or indirectly by solar thermal conversion using [[concentrated solar power]], CSP, technology. CSP technology uses the thermal energy from the sun to heat a liquid, such as molten salt, which is then used to boil water eventually creating steam. That steam then turns a turbine to generate electricity. Power plants using CSP technology include parabolic trough, parabolic dish and solar power tower systems. <ref> [[Richter, Dr. Cristoph.

Introduction
Solar power is electricity produced from the radiation of the sun. The energy of the sun can be captured and converted into power directly with photovoltaic solar panels, PV, or indirectly by solar thermal conversion using concentrated solar power, CSP, technology. CSP technology uses the thermal energy from the sun to heat a liquid, such as molten salt, which is then used to boil water eventually creating steam. That steam then turns a turbine to generate electricity. Power plants using CSP technology include parabolic trough, parabolic dish and solar power tower systems. [1]
