The project "Solar Dish Electric Generator" as a semi finallist from Freescale's Technology Forum 2009. The prototype consist of a 2.00m diameter parabolic dish with a 2 axis sun tracking mechanism. A Stirling Engine was coupled in the focal point of the parabola wich can move a DC generator. Freescale's microcontrollers were used to achieve sun tracking during the day and also ZigBee technology was used to monitor wirelessly the system from a personal computer.
