Solar radiation may be converted directly into solar power (electricity) by solar cells, or photovoltaic cells. In such cells, a small electric voltage is generated when light strikes the junction between a metal and a semiconductor (such as silicon) or the junction between two different semiconductors.

Solar power has a growing role in electricity production in the United Kingdom, contributing around 5% of the UK's annual power generation in 2024. There were few installations until 2010, when the UK government mandated subsidies. Decentralised smaller scale generators which are not connected directly to the transmission network are forecast to increase.

A particle receiver is an object placed on the top of a solar tower on which surface solar energy is concentrated by means of a solar field composed of large number of mirrors, called heliostats. The goal is to transform solar energy into thermal energy that can be used in a heat process, thermochemical process, or in a heat engine to. Gravity-driven particle flow through enclosuresThis receiver concept is composed of an enclosure with horizontal tubes with their external side inside of the enclosure and having their internal side irradiated with concentrated solar.
