Concentrated Solar Thermal AGNi69

CSTs can help reducing the fuel oil/electricity during day time by way of integrating them with their existing units Its a device which can concentrate solar radiation using mirrors/lenses to produce high temperatures in the range of 100 to 450 C or more even. These devices, however, need automatic tracking so as to focus Sun rays on to a receiver all the time. They can also tap only direct normal radiation and not the diffuse. Solar water/air heaters are already in promotion at commercial level but these are limited to temperatures below 90C They also require larger space for desired heat delivery, but have advantage of collecting both diffuse & direct radiation Use of CSTs at places of direct utility make them viable subject to availability of good DNI
