That's great to hear....and I hope more companies like Google throw some money into getting projects like this up and running.
Although what we really need is more efficient photovoltaic cells as the amount of power you could get directly from the sunlight in an area that size is vastly larger than getting it from heating water to produce steam. Even at 40% efficiency, you're getting 8.6GW of electrical power...which is quite a bit of sparky stuff!!!.
