Concentrated solar power (also known as concentrating solar power or concentrating solar-thermal power) works in a similar way conceptually. CSP technology produces electricity by concentrating and harnessing solar thermal energy using mirrors. At a CSP installation, mirrors reflect the sun to a receiver that collects and stores the heat energy.
Solar thermal energy, especially concentrated solar power (CSP), represents an increasingly attractive renewable energy source. However, one of the key factors that determine the development of this technology is the integration of efficient and cost effective thermal energy storage (TES) systems, so as to overcome CSP''s intermittent character

Molten salts (MSs) thermal energy storage (TES) enables dispatchable solar energy in concentrated solar power (CSP) solar tower plants. CSP plants with TES can store excess thermal energy during periods of high solar radiation and release it when sunlight is unavailable, such as during cloudy periods or at night.
