	'''Concentrated solar power''' ('''CSP''') are systems that use lenses or mirrors to concentrate a large area of sunlight, or [[wikipedia:solar thermal energy]], onto a small area. Electrical power is produced when the concentrated light is converted to heat which drives a [[heat engine]] (usually a [[steam turbine]]) connected to an electrical power generator.

'''Concentrated solar power''' ('''CSP''') are systems that use lenses or mirrors to concentrate a large area of sunlight, or [[wikipedia:solar thermal energy]], onto a small area. Electrical power is produced when the concentrated light is converted to heat which drives a [[heat engine]] (usually a [[steam turbine]]) connected to an electrical power generator.

CSP should not be confused with [[photovoltaics]], where [[solar power]] is directly converted to [[electricity]] without the use of [[steam turbine]]s. The concentration of sunlight onto photovoltaic surfaces, similar to CSP, is known as [[concentrated photovoltaics]] (CPV).<ref>[[wikipedia:Concentrating solar power]]
