What is Solar thermal energy?

We have a report tomorrow and I need help…Badly!

Thanks for those who are going to give the answer.

Solar thermal captures the heat from the sun. This can be used for:

Solar thermal can also be used to generate electricity by concentrating the heat onto a tube with a fluid in it. The fluid heats so much it generates steam, which then powers a steam turbine, making electricity. http://www.nrel.gov/learning/re_csp.html
