Another semi-puff piece. Out of 2:38, it spent 1:10 showing us the factory operation. Cogenera probably uses IBM services.

It was interesting to see the different technologies combined. Solar cells work at higher efficiencies with concentrated solar energy but that creates tremendous heat that must be removed, or the cells degrade quickly. Using a closed-loop system to do this and provide potable hot water is an ideal solution. It limits its usefulness to companies that can use all this hot water. I wonder if a Sterling-cycle engine could be added to produce electricity, too.
