Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, <answer>either directly using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP)</answer>. CSP systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. PV converts light into electric current using the photoelectric effect.
