@Anothercoilgun imagine a day when solar power reaches 100% efficiency. it can happen!! that would make the world better. =]

Just waiting for solar cells to reach 50+ percent. Lots of power in small size. I usually do everything myself sans aid from others. Must I because a special materials scientist just so I can hit 50+ percent efficiency in solar tech? Do I have to do everything myself!

This is interesting. I always thought that modern day flat panels were sorely inefficient. I had an idea I got from the mechanics used in expanding surface area that intestines use to gather nutrients. This uses a similar philosphy. Photons should be able to be reused once it strikes the silicon surface, if it can be trapped and bounced off multiple surfaces. I’d thought that a more “alternating” surface area would increase exposure, resulting in a smaller more convenient PV system.

Solar Sphere Panels,used on cars or in space: Energy to move the dishes all day to get the right angle focus on a car, Half the energy is used trying to move all the dishes all the time. Sphere Solar panels on say a truck more aero dynamic for traveling(compared to dish).Nasa space telescopes that have sphere shaped panels because to much energy to move a dish in space. Plus a dish must recharge its battery for dish motion.Battery last 10 years.Sphere solar panels don’t need to move for sun
