CSP on a singl-home-dwelling basis is really rare - and extremely cool. I've been wanting to do the same, and I certainly would if I lived in a more amenable place and had the time. You might want to check out http://wwww.redrok.com for homegrown CSP thermal units. Another good thing to see a system for under $1000: http://www.harbornet.com/sunflower/. It a little outdated website, but Doug Wood is still very active in the scene and just needs to update his website. I believe he now suggests CPV (concentrated PhotoVoltaics) - but do it yourself for huge savings and a fun project. Just make sure you keep those PV cells cold cold cold or you can burn up the costliest part of the system in less than a minutes (depending on how many suns you concentrate). Sweet!

I accidentally bumped into it while making a search for an interesting Physics homework and discovered and excellent web page full of useful content. In fact, you have inspired me to convince my parents of placing an electricity producing Solar Concentration Power plant! Your site is just awesome.
