Home use? I do not think so. If you are thinking about building one I would advise caution since high pressure and temperatures are part of the system.
For some odd designs see reference provided.

There are companies working on solar concentrators that would drive a closed cycle turbine (reverse Rankine). These are generally upwards of 25 kW in capacity and won't fit in your backyard. There is a company working on a residential-scale (3 kW) concentrating solar Stirling power system that would accomplish the same thing though.

No. But we do have "Solar Turbines" though... :)

Maybe you mean steam turbines? But I dun think solar energy is sufficient to create enough steam to drive the blades...
