Backyard Solor Mirrored Dish by RawSolar Inc

I ran across this big backyard sized mirrored solar dish on CleanTechnica. It’s a project by some students at MIT that has turned onto a new start up called RawSolar. I’ve often thought that there would be a big market for a mirror like this coupled with small stirling engine for backyard alternative energy generation. But it would have to be low cost. These folks are planning on using it to generate steam to drive a turbine.

I just ran across this website from a solar still article (water purification)  on Make. Built it Solar is a do it yourself solar energy website. They offer hundreds of articles on renewable energy projects you can do at home to save money and generate your own energy.
