Solar Developer
At the end of the day, the current limiting factor is in converting the heat to electricity. I checked out the Infinia system you quoted, and it's just what I was talking about as a finished product... the frustrating part is I can't get one! (because, as you pointed out, they don't want to talk to anyone with less than a 1MW project... I suppose if I could afford 333 of them I could get them).
Nevertheless, taking Infinia at their word that their installed cost is competitive, I could envision packaging these units into transportable 12kW systems, (complete with synchronizing inverters and smart meters) that can be erected in a couple of hours each.
There are many relatively large brownfield properties (former industrial sites that are contaminated) whose redevelopment is stalled due to current the Real Estate market conditions. They nearly all have large power lines either nearby, or even within the property, which can provide an easy entry into the grid. Given a better regulatory environment than we have right now (i.e: a shorter permitting cycle, laws to actually encourage Solar development and established standard PPA conditions), these properties could be leased for short periods of time (say, one year, renewable in one-year increments), and however many 12 kW packages can be inexpensively sited under a PPA that would require no negotiation: it would be more like a standard transaction no more complex than obtaining electrical service for new construction. When the Real Estate Developer wants to proceed with site cleanup and redevelopment construction, the Solar Developer removes the transportable 12 kW packages and relocates them to another suitable site.
This would be a win-win for everybody:
1) The Real Estate developer would have a cashflow stream he or she cannot otherwise obtain
2) The Utility would obtain power closer to the consumption locale, which would relieve pressure on the grid (and reduce its transmission costs), particularly during the hottest part of the summer days, when demand peaks.
3) The Solar Developer would have a reliable cash-flow stream, with a predictable schedule for equipment relocation.
4) The public would get jobs, the government would get taxes, carbon footprints would be reduced, less petroleum would get burned for energy, etc.
