They used their turbines to everything from cars to solar generators. Now, Capstone and HelioFocus (a company specialized in solar concentrators) announced today their first product that converts sunlight into electricity. The solar receiver is from Heliofocus and the turbine from Capstone.

HelioFocus has been founded in 2007, is based in Israel, and it produces modular, high efficiency Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems to convert the sunlight to electricity. They use a parabolic concentrator which focuses the light onto a solar receiver. The solar receiver is heat-based, and it drives Capstone's modified turbine.
