solar power genoration using R134a

[antiquedoc]

After some search into geothermal power production . I came to Chena geothermal power . They use a carrier chiller , and turbine to make power . The heat that they need is 165 degres . What i was wondering is if you used solar power to attain the temp. of 165 to flash the r134a and could than pass through a turbine to run a 10kw or larger generator . I have enouh west facing metal roof to put solar colectors , but I am stumped as to the turbine and chiller . any thoughts on weather it would work?

Kinda wide of topical

You have a good idea indeed, i hope that you will success!

you will never get more power out than you put in, in fact you will only get a small percentage back.

Thanks, I had been trying to remember the name of that pilot project.  Unless you have several hundred thousand to spend on even a very small system this is the mother of all pipe dreams.
