I'd hazard that this would be an obvious "first application" for this technique. If they can improve the absorption efficiency by 130%, that translates to reducing the number of mirrors by something like 25%, so a fairly significant cost saving. Alternately, if you can capture and store that energy without increasing costs too much you end up with a more efficient power plant per unit-area of land. Sounds good to me!
