Abstract:
1. A solar power system capable of storing heat energy wherein sun light is converted to electrical energy comprising: a light conversion system having an absorber and a concentrator, said absorber having a heat exchanger, an aperture, and a receiving cavity; said concentrator having a mirror and a sun-tracking system; said concentrator reflects the sun light into said absorber through said aperture, wherein the sun light warms said receiving cavity disposed within said absorber; said heat exchanger transfers heat from said receiving cavity to a fluid; a heat conversion system having a hot segment and a cold segment; said cold segment having said heat exchanger, a cold fluid hold, and a cold fluid pump; said hot segment having a hot fluid hold, a hot fluid pump and a heat engine; said hot fluid hold receives said fluid from said heat exchanger; said hot fluid pump impels said fluid to said heat engine and then to said cold fluid hold, wherein said heat engine converts heat to electricity; said cold fluid pump impels said fluid from said cold fluid hold to said heat exchanger then to said hot fluid hold, wherein said heat exchanger transfers the heat to said fluid; said hot segment operates under a power-demand condition; and said cold segment operates under a sunlight condition.
