  • I've been hearing about Sterling Energy Systems building that 500MW plant for a while now, was supposed to be finished in 2007, kept getting delayed each year and now say will finish in Q4 2010. Very suspicious, wonder if they can really match the claims they are saying or just another company which takes the money and fizzles out.

  • @Shwetank1 They just opened a 1.5MW plant with 60x dishes in Arizona and recently formed a partnership with Boeing.

    It's not hard to find this info on Google.

  • yeah,make fields of them so you can still charge people to have power!How about one on every roof of a home!

  • good work here

  • love the video really good

  • Already have one

  • @fredrik999z Solar on houses that is stationary is the only viable solution that looks good and cost effective. PV panels with the converters and all are much too expensive by 20:1.

    There is a solution. Read my bio. No PV, Dish, or Stirling need apply.

  • Remove the government money and this idea collapses.

    There is no point in this concept.  There is a better way by 10:1. Read my bio.

    Stop the corruption. Stop the giveaway of tax money.

  • This company has filed to bankruptcy.

  • @tsport100 my water heater uses more than that, nice house,

  • @jeffleejlc I'm pretty sure some sprayers could be built to automatically be used when needed and the best part is the sun will dry what doesn't drip off. this is why it only takes a few people to run a solar powered plant. basically one person to watch the monitors and one person to fix the broken panels...! ( which rarely break )

  • @METALMAN4Wii Honestly with that much power you could pump water and chemicals to spray on them on an interval that would easily keep them clean.

  • @semiLivedj It's because they are mechanical engines. They need service and makes a lot of noice when operating. A sterling engine is not very effective in small scale so therefore going fullscale is only option to make it worth it. A solar panel is different because it is flat, quite and contains no moving parts. The output/cost is also linear to the panel size. The critical part is aiming it to the sun. That system costs a lot.
