    Looks like it stores heat in molten silicon, much like the solar concentrators use molten salts. Basically there would still need to be a source of the heat, ie the sun or geothermal. And then a generator to use the stored heat to make electricity.
    If it can deliver the improved efficiency then it could be a winner.
