[0062] Conventionally,theorganicRankinecycle(ORC)is a very developed process for conversion loW and medium temperature heat to electricity from a temperature range of 80°C.-352°C.ButthereisnoORC systemforconversion loW temperature heat to electricity from a temperature range of30° C.-80° C.

[0058] A loW temperature organic Rankine cycle solar poWer system is invented by combining loW cost solar hot WatercollectorsWithahighe?iciencyORC system.More speci?cally, instead of custom components and devices that incorporate exotic materials for collecting solar thermal energy, this invention combines high e?iciency and less expensive solar hot Water collectors With a high e?iciency ORC systemtomakethesolarpoWersystemeconomically viable. [0059] Theoretically,differenttypesofsolarcollectors have a signi?cant impact on the e?iciency of an organic Rankine cycle system, and primarily on the operating tem peraturesandpressuresofthecycle.Inthepast,manytypesof solarcollectorshavebeenusedtocollectsolarthermalenergy e?iciently for the solar hot Water system under 60° C. At a temperature over 80° C., Which is the need for this ORC system, only metal-glass evacuated tubes are able to achieve ahighthermale?iciencythan70% andthenmatchthehigh e?iciencyneedoforganicRankinecycle.Insulationtempera ture of metal-glass evacuated tubes even can reach 200° C. from solar, and average heat e?iciency can stilbe more than 50%; even in an environment beloW —50° C.
