The windows box of concentrating solar power?

The folks over at Sopogy have some pretty interesting tech...a small scale CSP (Concentrating Solar Power) product that produces anywhere from 250kW and up (they're modular).

Yes, it is what it looks like ... a variant of the magnifying glass you may have used to start fires, burn up ant hills and generally play around like an 8 year old boy with...

From their website:

"It’s a trough with a reflective coating that focuses sunlight onto a pipe that carries an oil. That heated liquid goes through an organic Rankine cycle engine to convert it into electricity."

Furious!
