ANSWER:
Two thermal technologies combine their talents to store the energy of the sun, and to convert that energy into air conditioning and refrigeration, and into electric power. The storage system is completely thermodynamic, so we immediately gain 15% efficiency over conventional battery storage systems. Plus, in the range of temperatures below 300 degrees F., where Rankine cycles lose their economic viability, NASA scientists have calculated the Sterling organic cycle to have a 15% advantage over that of a Rankine cycle. That adds up to twice the benefits.

Produce hot water water and ice, to make round-the-clock refrigeration, air conditioning, and electricity.
Ice is less expensive than batteries.
Use ice for air conditioning and refrigeration, 24/7.
Start producing power from a low temperature power conversion cycle that is superior to Rankine cycles. The Sterling cycle is NOT the Stirling engine. The Sterling cycle eliminates the sole essential moving component of the Rankine power cycle: the working fluid feed pump. It results in more power or refrigeration from heat sources exploited at simmering temperatures, than any other technology. When converting the energy in renewable sources of low grade heat, Sterling organic cycle air conditioning and refrigeration surpasses expected Rankine cycle power and efficiency, using no moving parts. And it runs silently.
