Concentrated solar power (CSP, also known as concentrating solar power, concentrated solar thermal) systems generate solar power by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight into a receiver.
Concentrated solar power (CSP) is a promising technology to generate electricity from solar energy. Thermal energy storage (TES) is a crucial element in CSP plants for storing surplus heat from the solar field and utilizing it when needed.
SolarPACES (Solar Power and Chemical Energy Systems) has compiled data on concentrating solar power (CSP) projects worldwide that indicate that a total of 6128 MW CSP plant is operational, 1592 MW plants are in the development phase, and 1547 MW plants are under construction.
The main difference between CSP and photovoltaics is that CSP uses the sun's heat energy indirectly to create electricity, and PV solar panels use the sun's light energy, which is converted to electricity via the photovoltaic effect. Concentrated solar power systems require a significant amount of land with direct sunlight or irradiance.
Concentrated solar technology systems use mirrors or lenses with tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight onto a small area. The concentrated light is then used as heat or as a heat source for a conventional power plant (solar thermoelectricity).
Solar PV power generation utilizes photoelectric effect to directly convert solar energy into electricity, which is a direct photoelectric conversion mode. CSP is light-heat-electric conversion mode which converts the absorbed heat energy into steam through a solar collector and then drives a steam turbine to generate electricity.

The short answer is yes, a 24V solar panel can potentially charge your battery faster compared to a 12V panel, provided that your battery bank and charge controller are compatible with the higher v.
In short, Yes, a 12v solar panel can charge a 24v battery. To get the maximum from a 12v solar panel to charge your 24v battery use an MPPT charge controller or connect two 12v solar panels in series to charge a 24v battery using a PWM charge controller. Keep Reading...
Additionally, when charging with solar panels, there's another consideration: the wattage of the solar panels used does not exceed the maximum input power supported by the charge controller. After assembling a 24V battery system, you can attach it to the charger.
There are three primary methods for charging a 24V battery system: using an AC charger, DC power source, or solar panels. Each option serves different needs and situations. Charging a 24v battery with AC AC chargers are commonly used for indoor setups where a stable power source is available.
You need around 830 watts of solar panels to charge a 24V 200ah lead-acid battery from 50% depth of discharge in 4 peak sun hours. You need around 1450 watts of solar panels to charge a 24V 200ah Lithium (LiFePO4) battery from 100% depth of discharge in 4 peak sun hours. Full article: What Size Solar Panel To Charge 200Ah Battery?
For a 24 volt system the panel at max power rating needs to be 32 to 36 volts. Roughly 16 to 18 volts for every 12 volts of battery. However that rule only applies if you are using a standard PWM or shunt regulator. Using that type of regulator you will loose 30% minimum of the power from the panels.
