For a charge controller the Solar Power Hub uses a Morningstar SunSaver 20 PWM charge controller. It can handle about 340W of 12V solar panels. The SunSaver charge controller is not MPPT, so you need “12V” solar panels which have an open circuit voltage (Voc) of about 22v. Two Solarland 160W panels in parallel provide a rated power of 320W.

Figures 9.26 (a)– (c) present the results of a system simulation for a dish Stirling power plant with 200 units each with 10 kW. All single system coefficients were considered, including dirt on the mirrors as well as clouding ( 3% in the morning and evening). Availability was considered at 98%.

Thus, efficient receivers for dish systems are cavity receivers with a small opening (aperture) through which concentrated sunlight enters. The absorber is placed behind the aperture where the concentrated beam spreads out and thus reduces the intensity of absorbed solar flux to keep within material limits.
