  text: This study explores the feasibility and potential of integrating dish–Stirling
    systems (DSSs) into multigeneration energy systems, focusing on their ability
    to produce both thermal and electrical energy. By leveraging the concentrated
    solar power capabilities of DSSs, this research examines their performance relative
    to alternative solutions such as photovoltaic (PV) systems and solar heating.
    A 25 kW Stirling Energy Systems (SES) DSS served as the basis for the analysis.
    Simulations were performed for local 2022 weather conditions in Germany. The study
    employed a detailed modeling approach using the NREL System Advisor Model (SAM)
    to quantify the energy outputs and evaluate the system efficiencies. The results
    indicate that the DSS achieved an electrical efficiency of 25% and a combined
    efficiency of 78% when accounting for the maximum thermal energy generated. Seasonal
    analysis highlights the adaptability to fluctuating energy demands, with advantages
    in winter heating applications. Comparative evaluations revealed DSSs as a viable
    cogeneration alternative to standalone PV systems and solar heaters, offering
    reduced environmental impacts and enhanced energy efficiency. Future work will
    address real-world operational conditions, including thermal storage and multigeneration
    integration, positioning the DSS as a sustainable solution for renewable energy
    generation.
