| At 70% concentrator efficiency, the required amount of heat energy in the Heat Storage (HS) 4800kwh/day * 0.7 | 3360kWh/day |
| Total amount in GJ: 3360kWh * 3600s | 12.1GJ/day |
| From the 3360kWh/day of input energy 38% is to be recapture at the turbine output, returned to and restored in (HS) and reused: 3360kWh/day * 0.38 is the estimated amount to be recaptured. | 1277kWh/day |
| Total amount in GJ: 1277kWh * 3600s | 4.6GJ |

Amount of by volume required to store 12.1GJ/day in NaNO2 + NaOh 12.1GJ/294MJ/m³ |
41m³ |
| Total weight using 41m³ of NaNO2 + NaOh 2181.1Kg/m³ * 41 | 89425kg |
