David,

The company is Midway Labs, in Chicago. They make a concentrating array 
using space grade cells. They can take the heat extremes, and are more 
efficient per square inch. But like any tracked system, you need a good 
east - west exposure. If you've got it, the pricing seems pretty attractive 
compared to buying modules and separate tracker.

Phone number is 312/432-1796. Speak to Bob Hoffman.

Jeff

Wrenches,
	The following is an email I received recently. I remember HP doing a write
up on Fresnel lense arrays, Michigan Labs, or something. But I thouight I'd
check with the list if somebody knew specifically about "AEP".
Dave Palumbo, IP&L

"Solar modules concentrating the sunlight 200 times with fresnel plates
used by AEP; At first, I was told such concentration burned out the modu  
les;
Are you aware if this technological problem has been worked out and is
applicable for home usage? Last month, I used 424 KWH. As a reminder, I
attended your August workshop. Currently I have ideal southern exposure on
the roof. Comments?"
