An improved hybrid solar/combustion powered receiver, for use e.g. with a hot gas engine, the receiver being of the type having a housing and an aperture for admitting solar radiation to the cavity defined by the housing. The improved receiver includes a heat exchanger within the cavity and having the tubes tangentially spaced; multiple burners for providing a combustion gas flow path during combustion powered operation between and around the portions of the tubes upon which solar radiation impinges; and a fused silica, internally mounted window to seal the aperture against combustion gas leakage out of the receiver.
