The dual conversion, steam and electric solar power system is aimed at attaining an optimum cost/effective balance between arrays of direct electric conversion solar cells, and an indirect steam-to-electric solar power system. The concentration panels for the system consist of the previously disclosed four quadrant, two dimensional type of concentration panel with higher side concave extensions to provide concentration ratios up to 35:1. A continuous flash boiler pipe serves as the base conversion means, with a box-form array of solar cells mounted at the cold water entrance end of the pipe(s). The entering cold water dissipates heat from the solar cells while pre-heating the water for the subsequent section of the flash boiler pipe exposed section. The solar panel width to focal zone width is between 22:1 and 28:1.
