What power is Achimede combined cycle power plant is using to convert the energy from sunlight into electricity using molten salt for heat and storage which is integrated with the combined cycle gas facility?
Solar power Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), indirectly using concentrated solar power, or a combination. Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaic cells convert light into an electric current using the photovoltaic effect.
