A single CSP plant can generate enough power for about 90,000 homes. This video explains what CSP is, how it works, and how systems like parabolic troughs produce renewable power.

But there’s another, almost forgotten type of solar energy: concentrated solar power. Its big advantage is that it can store the sun’s heat for a long time and turn it into electricity when needed – for example at night, when normal solar panels lie idle. Is it set…
