In this, solar thermal energy was transferred to a storage tank and stored as sensible heat of the working fluid. This is in fact the first recorded application on solar energy storage. Furthermore, in this system a shallow solar pond was used to run the engine in order to pump water [ 13, 15 ].

SETO is working to make CSP even more affordable, with the goal of reaching $0.05 per kilowatt-hour for baseload plants with at least 12 hours of thermal energy storage.
