of both electrical and thermal energy from solar energy is technologically feasible. Operational experience with the MSSTF has led to the identification of several design modifications and materials and process improvements that will increase system efficiency. System performance is reported both as measured for the existing system and as predicted for a system incorporating the identified improvements. Show Less
