Three fundamental characteristics of future energy markets are: (i) almost all electricity will be generated by variable renewable energy technologies (VRE) such as wind turbines and solar cells, and by hydropower sources, all of which are directly dependent on weather; (ii).

Solar power plants use one of two technologies: • (PV) use, either on or in ground-mounted, converting sunlight directly into electric power. • (CSP) systems use mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight to extreme heat to make steam, which drives a to generate electricity.

Solar power plants connect to the electrical grid by converting sunlight into electricity using solar panels and then using inverters to change the generated DC power into AC power compatible with the grid.
