CSP technology produces electricity by concentrating and harnessing solar thermal energy using mirrors. At a CSP installation, mirrors reflect the sun to a receiver that collects and stores the heat energy. That heat is used to power an engine or turbine that is connected to an electricity generator.

No, solar panels cannot generate electricity at night because they need sunlight to produce power through the photovoltaic effect. Can moonlight charge solar panels? No, moonlight is just reflected sunlight which is way too little to generate power. [pdf]

In theory, a photovoltaic cell (a single cell) produces a current proportional to the intensity of the incident light. This is due to the photovoltaic effect. The voltage shouldn't change, much, and so power is linearly proportional to intensity. [pdf]
Lithium-ion batteries usually have an efficiency above 80%. This indicates that they lose less than 20% of energy during use. Key features include high energy density, fast charging speed, and long cycle life. [pdf]
Not all of the sunlight that reaches a PV cell is converted into electricity. In fact, most of it is lost. Multiple factors in solar cell design play roles. .
Researchers measure the performance of a PV device to predict the power the cell will produce. Electrical power is the product of current. .
