How to Generate Solar power by Solar Panel and Solar Rack?

       Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems, including solar panel and solar rack to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaics convert light into electric current using the photoelectric effect.
       Concentrated photovoltaics (CPV) systems employ sunlight concentrated onto photovoltaic surfaces for the purpose of electrical power production. Solar concentrators of all varieties may be used, and these are often mounted on a solar tracker in order to keep the focal point upon the cell as the Sun moves across the sky. Luminescent solar concentrators (when combined with a PV-solar cell) can also be regarded as a CPV system. Luminescent solar concentrators are useful as they can improve performance of PV-solar panels drastically. The fixed solar rack in the solar panel holds panels in a single location as the sun moves across the sky.
