Mea culpa: yes, they *do* make solar panels w/concentrators

Don't know but the 1000:1 concentration ratio would fit his posting as does the dual-axis tracker...would seem a likely candidate, indeed.

Reasonable ideas certainly and much more practical approach than "orders of magnitude" increases in efficiencies of the conversion cell.

"SolFocus' leading CPV technology combines high-efficiency solar cells with advanced concentrating optics to provide high energy yield using just 1/1000 the amount of photovoltaic material used in traditional photovoltaic systems."


Is this the top sekrit technology that Smitty Two is working on?
