There are differences, however the steam generator is heated by solar radiation, which is concentrated by concave mirror in order to achieve sufficiently high temperatures Figure 77, D and cooling of the condenser occurs only by radiating into empty space, so it must be opened towards empty space and shielded from the Figure 77, It delivers direct current, is equipped with storage battery and is comparable in principle to standard steam turbine power plant of the same type.
