The most promising new technologies in the world of solar
power are CSP and HCPV. CSP (Concentrated fc
solar Power) and HCPV (High Concentration Photovoltaic) are technologies
which use a large array of lenses and mirrors (heliostats) to focus sunlight
onto PV's. Also used in a similar application, to focus sunlight onto PV and/
or a working fluid (such as water, molten salt or synthetic oil), are solar
dishes and solar troughs. Dishes and troughs seem to hold great promise for the
future of renewable energy.
CSP plants produce 36v
charge controller power by first focusing sunlight onto a concentrated
group of solar cells arranged as an installation on a tower. Also, dishes and
troughs are used in a CSP application, focusing sunlight onto a group of PV's,
or a working fluid, or both, near the source. CSP plants that first focus light
on PV cells then use that captured energy heat a working fluid. Then, this high
temperature fluid is used to spin a turbine or to power an engine that drives a
generator. Great examples of CSP plants are found in Spain, Italy, Australia
and Mexico, as well as the US states California, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico,
Utah and Nevada, just to mention a few locales for this emerging technology.
