Solar thermal energy, also called solar thermal power or thermoelectric energy, is a renewable energy that uses the heat of the sun to produce clean electricity on a large scale. Like photovoltaic energy, which uses light energy from the sun captured by solar cells, solar thermal technology uses the sun's heat to warm a fluid, produce steam, and generate electricity in a conventional thermal process. There are also several technologies used to produce thermal energy: parabolic trough and central tower, primarily.
