Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity. Sunlight can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaics (PV)‚ or indirectly with concentrated solar power (CSP)‚ which normally focuses the sun’s energy to boil water which is then used to provide power. Other technologies also exist‚ such as Stirling engine dishes which use a Stirling cycle engine to power a generator. Photovoltaics were initially‚ and still are‚ used to power small and medium-sized applications‚ from the
