 DISH/ENGIN
E
 Electric generator that burns
sun light to produce
electricity.
 Dish collects solar energy &
focuses it as beam.
 Receiver absorbs energy and
transfer it to engine fluid.
 Engine convert heat into
mechanical power and then
into electric power.
 Dish structure track the sun
continuously.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
