i agree on death valley, that place is steamin..getting power from a wasteland like thats amazing in my opinion, far better thansacrificing sons and daughters ofeurope and america in the middle east.nobody should ever be asked to sacrificetheir children like that.hey i wrote to SES and sunpower, they are willing to licence their technology to manufacturers...if you're interested u should approach them-they got space technology, but theyre not manufacturers-

It's my opinion that SES ought to install a bunch of dishes in Death Valley, unfortunately, this is a Federal state park, and it will never be allowed. Shows you how stupid and worthless our government is.If Death Valley was covered with SES dishes, it would produce enough energy to run the entire country.

i've made a few, they do work wellbut i agree with your comment" think Stirling Energy has got you beat. They claim 30% efficiency"the united states is the promised land for solar energy, they've done hard work for 20 years and the fruits are coming out-SES builds the lamborghini of them all.they purr away in silence and plans are on track to build the 100Sq mile farm which will produce all of united states day time energyneeds.far better than foreign oil

> they're doing well, sunpower also> but anyone can build a solar sterling system-> the free piston design is simple!!Then do it, if it's so easy.

The 1000l tank is used to store the heat in the house to be used als warm water or heating rooms.A bigger storage tank would not make sense, the constant heatloss of the tank allows only to store heat for the next 1-4 days.A normal car sized radiator would make it possible to generate power and get rid of unneeded heat. With a truck sized it even would not need a fan to dispense from 11kW heat energy.

I think Stirling Energy has got you beat. They claim 30% efficiency, and their dish is also about $50K, and a lot LOT bigger.Unfortunately, they are a private company, so I cannot invest. They are a sure winner, unless the government kills them.

No It is water cooled.Manufacturer claims 1000L tank...It seems to be too small for me...
