A Renewable Energy Solution | with 200 Years of R&D

While the SunCatcher™ Solar Dish Stirling System represents a genuine breakthrough in solar technology, the Stirling Engine journey as an industrial strength engine covers nearly 200 years of research and development on different continents and across multiple industry applications.

Stirling Engines were developed shortly after Robert Stirling first described the thermodynamic cycle that bears his name in 1816. Over the years, Stirling engines have been used in agricultural, manufacturing, naval, commercial and automotive applications, They are recognized for their efficiency, reliability, and because they can use almost any external heat source to power the engine – including solar heat.

The Stirling engine has long been acknowledged as one of the most innovative and efficient engines ever conceived and built. It uses a continual recycling process of heating and cooling from an external heat source, creating temperature changes inside the cylinders that are responsible for driving reciprocating mechanical pistons, which in turn produce energy.
