ABSTRACT
Global energy demand is increasing every year and oil is a source of energy that will run low, so it may run out like the rest of fossil fuels. In addition, emissions of CO2 are increasing every year due to increased energy demand. Renewable energy sources try to be the new power as an alternative to recent energies and show that a change is possible in energy production. All energy on Earth comes from the Sun and therefore, solar energy is achieving great successes among the renewable energies, but there is still a long way to innovate and improve on these renewable energies.
Key words: Renewable energy, solar energy, solar radiation, parabolic solar concentrator, concentrating solar tower, energy storage, molten salts.
