It's like as we used to burn a piece of paper or cloth through the lens reflecting back the sunlight with very high intensity and in a focussed way. This is perhaps the source of innovation to which people have upgraded and boked it as an oppurtunity to make use of this natural resource.

Solar power as a concept has been around for centuries, but the first practical solar cell was invented in 1954 by Bell Labs. This marked the beginning of modern solar power technology.
The solar cooker was invented by Horace de Saussure in 1767. He constructed a small insulated box with three layers of glass to trap heat from the sun, pioneering the concept of solar thermal energy for cooking.
The first solar thermal power plant was developed in the 1910s, known as the "Solar One" or "The Solar Energy Company’s Power Plant," located in California. It used a large array of mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto a boiler, generating steam that powered a steam engine. Although it was a pioneering effort, it only operated for a few years and was eventually decommissioned. This early venture laid the groundwork for future developments in solar thermal technology.
Solar power, in the form of photovoltaic technology, was invented in 1954 at Bell Labs in the United States. The first practical solar cell was developed by scientists Gerald Pearson, Calvin Fuller, and Daryl Chapin. Since its invention, solar power has grown into a viable renewable energy source used worldwide.
The power produced by the application of solar energy is called solar thermal power. It has solar collectors, concentrator, heat exchanger, turbine, generator, condenser unit
Solar power can be used to help power a house up to supply energy to the grid. Solar thermal power can be used in conjunction with conventional thermal power plants and save on fuel costs. Salt ponds can be used with solar thermal to extend operating hours at night. Spain and USA are big users of solar thermal power.it is unnone i speeld most of this settens rong

Solar power does not directly use thermal energy. Solar power is generated through photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electricity. However, concentrated solar power (CSP) plants use mirrors to concentrate solar energy onto a receiver and generate heat, which is then used to produce electricity through a steam turbine. This process uses thermal energy to generate electricity.

It is called Solar thermal. Solar power can refer to the other type of solar energy which produces electricity. A solar thermal system is uses the suns heat to heat water in a storage vessel. Normally solar thermal is used to heat domestic hot water, but if a larger system is fitted it can contribute a small amount to other heating requirements such as underfloor heating. Also solar thermal is very good for heating swimming pools.
you get radiant and thermal energy. Solar power.

This are used to convert solar energy to heat i.e thermal energy for using various purposes e.g solar cooker ,cncentrated solar power,solar water heater,solar furnace etc
me
That one guy........who did the research And stuff.....on solar power
There are solar thermal plants in California and Nevada
