A highly reflective collector focuses, or concentrates, solar energy onto an absorber. The collector usually moves throughout the day so that it maintains a high degree of concentration on the absorber. Solar thermal power plants use concentrating solar collector systems because they can produce the high temperature heat needed to
Solar thermal systems are a promising renewable energy solution -- the sun is an abundant resource. Except when it''s nighttime. Or when the sun is blocked by cloud cover. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems are high-pressure liquid storage tanks used along with a solar thermal system to allow plants to bank several hours of potential electricity.
