The fluid is stored in two tanks—one at high temperature and the other at low temperature. . Concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) systems have many components that help convert sunlight into usable energy. In CSP plants, mirrors reflect and concentrate sunlight onto a focused point or line where it is collected and converted into heat, which can be stored and used to produce electricity. . Solar thermal collectors are classified by the United States Energy Information Administration as low-, medium-, or high-temperature collectors. Low-temperature collectors are generally unglazed and used to heat swimming pools or to heat ventilation air.
