I once has an idea of a stirling engined car, this car store hot water
(or hot molten salt) in an insulated tank or a big Termos flask. The
stirling engine will utilize the heat stored and convert it to
mobility. And the fuel bar will only show the temprerature inside the
insulated tank...

The bulk of the heat is from radiation from the sun. The best
collectors are actually vaccuum tubes, to reduce convective losses.
They also use a selective surface on the collector plates in order to
reduce radiative losses as well. Pretty much any sort of glass should
work okay for this as
