Sterling engine and Solar

Could someone explain how sterling engines are used in solar power ?
From what i read their are about 4 different type of sterling engines
being offer today.

A few solar operated Sterling engines were used in the early 20th century as
irrigation pumps, especially in arid climates.

Stirling engines are heat engines. The parabolic dish concentrates the heat
energy
on the hot end of the Stirling engine. The cold end is the atmosphere. The
engine
runs and generates electricity. It is a solar thermal electro mechanical
generator.
There are many web pages and articles written about this that you can access.

Can you get by with something else ? The reason why i ask I've been
looking that sunflower 250 . Supposedly it comes without a sterling to
save money for now. They are trying to figure out a way to save money.

It might be concentrator PV. That design is a heliostat.

There have been others that are trough.

An ones in Australia and elsewhere that are parabolic solar concentrator PV.
