CSP tech anyone?

I was looking at the tech section of Yahoo news and found a story where they were talking about Algeria reorganizing away from an oil based economy to a solar based one, in that right now Algeria derives most of their income as a nation from oil revenues and will soon be supplying solar electricity to Europe. I did a little checking on it, and found that CSP (concentrated solar power) is also being used in Africa to supply electricity to small villages. Further checking has found that CSP systems are a lot more efficient than regular photovoltaics, can produce on cloudy days or even at night by storing energy for conversion, and overall cost less.

One I liked was a system that looks like a regular satellite communications dish, and I was wondering if anyone had more information on this for residential use. I'll post back anything I find as well. From the sites I've been checking, it looks like they are using these to provide power to small African villages in a standalone capacity, which means one of these jobbers might be able to produce enough energy to run an entire US household, even if they ran 20 year old appliances, a SEER 3 AC with electric heat and incandescent bulbs. If this is the case, and the cost for a small one isn't too much, my problems are over. I could even install one at the house I live in now, if I understand what I'm seeing. I wouldn't, but I probably could. If I'm reading things correctly a single 10 foot dish could supply 5 megawatts per day, and my own use in the heat of summer is about 2 megawatts (about 1900 KWhrs) per month. Way too much, I know, but it is a very inefficient house. Not nearly as inefficient as when I moved in, but there is still too much to do.
