I guess my question is more along the lines of is it feasible, what are the costs if it is, what is the predicted lifespan and does it represent any kind of legitimate breakthrough in terms of cost? (especially for the first link, ZenithSolar)

The main issue that I understand with concentrated PV, is that it works
much better in the desert.  Any moisture in the air diffuses the
sunlight so it comes in at random angles.  I think the insolation tables
for a location give numbers for concentrated solar.
