You guys aren't going to believe this!!!

I'm in Mesa Arizona visiting my brothers. We got invited to go with them to a friend's house from church for New Year's Eve.

While waiting for the big moment we get to talking about what we do during the day. The guy that owns the house says he started a company and sold it but still works for them.

He said the company does solar arrays that focus the light to a center reflector and use smaller solar wafers to capture the light. I ask, "Is there any chance you know about the KGO solar project over in California that is doing something like this?"

Here's the crazy part: He says, "Yeah, that's my company!"

Small world huh? We talked about it forever last night. Amazing what they are doing and where solar is going.
