In the world's most rural areas, underfunded institutions such as schools and health clinics struggle to provide quality services without electricity or hot water. Currently, electrification of these institutions proceeds slowly with expensive grid extension, photovoltaic panels or diesel generators. STG has developed a better solution: a miniaturized solar thermal power plant using low cost solar collectors and a novel ORC engine that can provide clean electricity and hot water at a fraction of the cost of competing systems.
