Does solar concentrating collector generate electricity
In concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) plants, collectors reflect and concentrate sunlight and redirect it to a receiver, where it is converted to heat and then used to generate electricity. There are two main types of collectors: non-concentration and concentrating collectors. Multi-megawatt power plants have been built using parabolic troughs combined with gas turbines (California). A parabolic dish collector is similar in appearance to a large satellite dish, but has mirror-like. .
