In this video, I give a simple explanation on how Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) works. This is the type of solar power that uses thousands of mirrors over hundreds of acres to reflect sunlight on a tower. This heats up molten salt to over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The heated molten salt then creates steam from water, driving a steam turbine to produce electricity. CSP plants are used in primarily in the western United States.
A big advantage of CSP is that power can produced at night time for at least several hours after the sun has set.

This is a great book on Amazon that I would recommend you pick up to understand solar power (this is the 2013 edition and is great reading):
This is the Grape Solar Panel that I am particularly fond of (many people sending me messages):
