事實上，唐山光伏發電和唐山光熱發電都是利用太陽能發電的可再生能源技術，所以這兩種發電技術也是經常被比較的新型發電技術。然而，人們普遍認為唐山光伏發電主要用于分布式發電，而唐山光熱發電主(zhu)要(yao)用于集中發電，因此從長(chang)遠(yuan)來看(kan)兩者是互(hu)補的(de)。

　　光(guang)(guang)熱(re)(re)發(fa)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)能(neng)更(geng)(geng)好(hao)地(di)適(shi)應(ying)傳(chuan)統(tong)發(fa)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)方式和(he)現(xian)有(you)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)網。太陽(yang)(yang)能(neng)光(guang)(guang)熱(re)(re)發(fa)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)是將(jiang)光(guang)(guang)能(neng)轉(zhuan)(zhuan)化為熱(re)(re)能(neng)，然后通過(guo)傳(chuan)統(tong)的(de)熱(re)(re)力循環發(fa)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)的(de)技術(shu)(shu)。光(guang)(guang)伏發(fa)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)是一種使電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)子跳躍形成電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)勢差的(de)技術(shu)(shu)，光(guang)(guang)能(neng)直(zhi)接轉(zhuan)(zhuan)化為電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)能(neng)。因此，光(guang)(guang)伏發(fa)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)產生直(zhi)流電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)，而(er)太陽(yang)(yang)能(neng)光(guang)(guang)熱(re)(re)發(fa)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)產生交流電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)，與(yu)傳(chuan)統(tong)熱(re)(re)能(neng)發(fa)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)相同，與(yu)傳(chuan)統(tong)發(fa)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)方式和(he)現(xian)有(you)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)網有(you)更(geng)(geng)好(hao)的(de)匹配。

　　唐(tang)山光(guang)伏(fu)(fu)發(fa)電(dian)(dian)和(he)(he)(he)唐(tang)山光(guang)熱(re)發(fa)電(dian)(dian)的(de)工程特性也決(jue)定了光(guang)伏(fu)(fu)發(fa)電(dian)(dian)和(he)(he)(he)光(guang)熱(re)發(fa)電(dian)(dian)之間的(de)不同分工，在(zai)(zai)工程技術和(he)(he)(he)安裝上，所有光(guang)伏(fu)(fu)發(fa)電(dian)(dian)都被完全(quan)包含在(zai)(zai)一(yi)個(ge)模(mo)塊(kuai)中，功能獨立，因此(ci)集中式光(guang)伏(fu)(fu)發(fa)電(dian)(dian)非(fei)常(chang)適合(he)分布式發(fa)電(dian)(dian)，而光(guang)伏(fu)(fu)發(fa)電(dian)(dian)是(shi)以(yi)大量的(de)太陽能電(dian)(dian)池(chi)組件(jian)為基礎，是(shi)一(yi)個(ge)單電(dian)(dian)池(chi)組件(jian)和(he)(he)(he)連接，一(yi)旦電(dian)(dian)池(chi)廠，現場安裝和(he)(he)(he)維護相(xiang)對簡單。
