> I'm working with a mechanical and chemical engineer that has
invented a new engine process that works with very high
efficiency using relatively low temperature steam, which would
be generated by solar thermal panels and produce twice or more
the efficiency of solar PV.
>
> A 10 kW engine would provide enough power for the average
American home (2500 Square Feet) and since steam generated from
solar heat during the day can be stored in a pressurized
insulated steam storage tank, electricity would be readily
available at night as well.

> We are aiming to offer such systems in the next 12-24 months
and believe the system will pay for itself out of electricity
bill savings in under 24-36 months. With a working prototype
proving that we can capture almost all of the energy in the
steam (including the evaporation enthalpy) this patented new
engine process may hold the key for vastly increasing the
efficiency of solar power, and thus reducing it's cost. The age
of personal power plants may be sooner than you suggest.
