CSP vs Other Solar Technologies. Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems and photovoltaic (PV) panels are the two primary methods for generating solar power, and each has its unique characteristics. CSP and PV differ in how they convert solar energy. While PV directly converts sunlight into electricity using semiconductors, CSP concentrates
Concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) or also called "concentration photovoltaics" is a type of photovoltaic (PV) technology that generates electricity coming from solar energy. For generating electricity CPV uses lenses or curved mirrors to focus sunlight onto small, high-quality multi-junction (MJ), and highly efficient solar cells.
Unlike the flat-plate photovoltaic systems seen on roofs, solar concentrators must track the sun to focus light on to a solar cell throughout the day. Sun tracking increases the daily energy production above that of non-tracking flat-plate PV panels.

Concentrated solar power (CSP, also known as concentrating solar power, concentrated solar thermal) systems generate solar power by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight into a receiver.

What is photovoltaic (PV) technology and how does it work? PV materials and devices convert sunlight into electrical energy. A single PV device is known as a cell. An individual PV cell is usually small, typically producing about 1 or 2 watts of power.
