Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. The concentrated heat is then used as a heat source for a conventional power plant. A wide range of concentrating technologies exists; the most developed are the parabolic trough, the solar tower collectors, the concentrating linear Fresnel reflector, and the Stirling dish.

With the combined capacity from three separate locations at 354 (MW), it was for thirty years the world's solar thermal energy generating facility, until the commissioning of the even larger in 2014.

While tracking improves the overall performance, it also increases the system's installation and maintenance cost. A converts the array's power output from to , and connection to the is made through a high voltage, three phase step up.

By the end of the century, scientists created a special type of solar cells that converted upwards of 36% of the sunlight it collected into usable energy. Solar energy conversion describes technologies devoted to the transformation of solar energy to other (useful) forms of energy, including electricity, fuel, and heat. In the early 1970s, solar cell technology became cheaper and more available ($20/watt). Solar cells started in 1876 with William Grylls Adams along with an undergraduate student of his.
