Solar concentrator based solar power plant is the technology in which we produce power from solar energy. In this power plant firstly solar energy is focused on a point where the sterling engine is paced. The sterling engine converts this converted in heat then from heat it is converted into mechanical energy and then from mechanical energy we can create electric power. As we all know that 19th century was century was century of coal and wood. At that time people used wood and coal to get energy from them. Then the 20th century was century of petroleum and gas. Now the 21st century is in progress which will be the century of solar power because in this century we cannot fulfill our requirements without using solar energy. Now we will discuss our country Pakistan, in this century Pakistan is facing very much shortage of energy especially electric power. So we have to explode other resources to fulfill the requirements of energy and solar energy is one of them. Pakistan is in such location of the world that in this part of the world solar radiation fall 800kw/m2 which is most suitable to produce power.
