Solar thermal power production is a method that transforms solar energy into electricity. It stores thermal energy by heating fluids through a turbine, producing steam to generate electricity. Ponds are one the most common bodies of water that store thermal energy for solar radiation.

Solar thermal power production means the conversion of solar energy into elec­tricity through thermal energy. In this procedure, solar energy is first utilised to heat up a working fluid, gas, water or any other volatile liquid. This heat energy is then converted into mechanical energy m a turbine. Finally a conven­tional generator coupled to a turbine converts this mechanical energy into elec­trical energy.

Solar ponds are great for space heating and industrial heating and generate electricity through simmering liquids.
