I was reading about this project earlier this year, but looks like the kids at MIT (with some help from a Washington researcher's work), have created a highly efficient and much more affordable solar collector than any on the market. And apparently not too hard to build either... (which is to say, it doesn't have to be built in big fancy factories)
