Concentrated solar power (CSP) with thermal storage (TES) can generate continuous power output. It can be used for various applications by overcoming the intermittent solar radiation. As heat losses occur in absorber because of heat flux, tracking, optical errors. Hence, improving efficiency arises. Reducing heat loss is vital. The absorbers are volumetric, cavity, tubular liquid, solid particle-type. The occurrence of heat flux on absorbers from heliostats. Performance affects because of clouds in transient conditions. The review focuses on advances in solar absorber designs. It concentrates on meeting sustainable development’s energy and power requirements.
