Solar thermal energy is a technology designed to capture the sun''s radiant heat and convert it into thermal energy (heat), differentiating it from photovoltaics, which generate electricity. Systems like parabolic mirrors or flat plate collectors concentrate sunlight onto a specific area, heating a fluid that transfers the energy to a storage unit.
Temperatures can be hottest during these times, and people who work daytime hours get home and begin using electricity to cool their homes, cook, and run appliances. Storage helps solar contribute to the electricity supply even when the sun isn''t shining. It can also help smooth out variations in how solar energy flows on the grid.
