-Dish/engine systems are characterized by high efficiency, modularity, autonomous operation, and an inherent hybrid capability
Dish/engine systems have demonstrated the highest solar-to-electric conversion efficiency (29.4%)
-Dish/engine systems can also be hybridized with a fossil fuel to provide dispatchable power.
-This technology is in the engineering development stage and technical challenges remain concerning the solar components and the commercial availability of a solarizable engine.
