It's interesting, but it's efficiency is only 40%, and that would be after other conversion losses and heat loss, as I doubt you would have perfect containment of the heat. Would be interesting to hear how long an installation of the size they describe could run for. Might be good in desert areas with endless solar potential, just as a nightly battery.
