ISC412 collectors, four meters by twelve meters, are doubled up for this hypothetical village application. The Solar Collectors, which track the movement of the sun, generate superheated steam at 333C, that runs to the steam engine and electrical generator. This system will produce 12kWe and battery storage would give the system a 25kWe capability. Exhaust steam from the steam engine is piped to condensers that purify the well water. Excess steam and hot water is stored in an underground hot water tank for use in floor heating the habitats, when required.
Collectors produce an enormous amount of heat and superheated steam.
This can be used to process sewage and greywater for production of safe organic fertilizer. System is not to scale, and the layout assumes the system was put in after the village was built. Villages that are planned around the system would have the collectors in the center with the habitats arranged in an outer circle.
