Solar thermal power plants, which uses sets of parabolic mirrors/reflectors to focus sun rays onto a centrally located collector filled with medium that stores heat well. The heat is used to create steam which in turn moves turbines that produce electricity. Such plants are now becoming quite popular in Spain Photovoltaic power plants, which consist of sets of solar PV panels that use silicon based cells to convert solar radiation into electricity directly.
