Solar power is harnessed on a large scale primarily through photovoltaic (PV) systems that convert sunlight directly into electricity, and concentrated solar power (CSP) plants, which use mirrors to focus sunlight and generate heat to drive turbines.

While solar panels perform optimally under direct sunlight, they can still produce electricity on cloudy days. This diffuse light allows the photovoltaic effect to occur, albeit at a reduced.
