Another way to tap solar energy is by collecting the sun's heat. Solar thermal power plants use heat from the sun to create steam, which can then be used to make electricity. ... Mirrors or reflectors concentrate the sun's rays to heat a special kind of liquid. The heat from this liquid boils water to create steam
