Cannot understand what's wrong with B.
nishith17As chetan2u explained verb+ing modifier is one reason why option B is incorrect.
Also there is one more aspect to be considered here. That is Subject-verb agreement.
Ignoring the unnecessary modifier part meant for description, the sentence with option B looks as below.

or
Solar power produced
directly through photovoltaics (PV) and
indirectly through concentrated solar power (CSP).
Solar power produced directly or indirectly does what?Can you notice that the main verb
is is missing for the subject solar power?
The same flaw repeats in E as well.
