Solar energy is converted to electrical energy directly through photovoltaic (PV) or indirectly through concentrated solar power (CSP) system which converts solar energy to heat energy which in turn can be used by thermal power station to generate electricity.

Thermal energy storage (TES) is the storage of for later reuse. Employing widely different technologies, it allows thermal energy to be stored for hours, days, or months. Scale both of storage and use vary from small to large – from individual processes to district, town, or region. Usage examples are the balancing of energy demand between daytime and nighttime, storing summer heat for winter heat.

Thermal energy storage provides a workable solution to this challenge. In a concentrating solar power (CSP) system, the sun's rays are reflected onto a receiver, which creates heat that is used to generate electricity that can be used immediately or stored for later use.
