dish stirling system
A type of concentrating solar power system that can also be classified as solar thermal energy, dish stirlings independent parabolic reflectors used to direct concentrated sunlight toward a receiver. Based on the dish-like shape of the concentrator, any sunlight hitting the dish can be "collected" at a specific focal point and then emitted to a stirling engine where water is stored. The water is heated and used to generate power via generator. This system has the highest efficiency rate among CSP tools and technologies.
