Solar photothermal power generation refers to the use of large array parabolic or dish-shaped mirrors to collect solar heat energy, provide steam through heat exchange devices, and combine with traditional turbine generator technology to achieve the purpose of power generation.
Using solar photothermal power generation technology can avoid the expensive photoelectric conversion process of silicon crystal and greatly reduce the cost of solar power generation.
Moreover, this form of solar energy utilization has incomparable advantages over other forms of solar energy conversion, that is, water heated by solar energy can be stored in a huge container, which can still drive turbines to generate electricity after the sun goes down for several hours.
