Nevertheless, several potential applications for Small-Scale CSP plants (< 1 MW) can be relevant in the industrial sector as well as for off-grid purposes (i.e. in rural contexts). This paper presents the technologies suitable for off-grid applications, for electricity or cogenerated production.
The EU-funded POLYPHEM project prototyped most of the components necessary for a small-scale solar plant, with some now ready for commercial development. Numerical modelling tools for optimising plant design and assessing performance were also developed.
Many efforts have been spent in the design and development of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Plants worldwide. Most of them are for on-grid electricity generation and they are medium or large plants (in the order of MWs) which can benefit from the economies of scale.
Small scale units of electricity generation are dispersive energies with geographical features. The efficient use of these energies requires a planned energy management system . Only [19, 20]; and study the effect of a group of renewable energies for Japan.
However, unlike photovoltaic solutions, due to technical challenges and high investment costs, CSP has been slow to take off. The EU-funded POLYPHEM project prototyped most of the components necessary for a small-scale solar plant, with some now ready for commercial development.

Small-scale domestic applications accommodate a significant number of low efficiency PV cells in a usable form, PV modules. In addition, to convert the PV energy timely and effectively, a range of converter/inverter topologies are adapted using two major system configurations such as stand-alone or widely used grid-connected form.
