    Wow so well done, excellent description. I Love the fact that you are pioneering the limits of solar as this will eventually spill over to the average consumer… kinda like tech that came from the space program that now is a part of our everyday use. Good job

      10 years later and nothing has "spilled" into residential solar.

    I’m more impressed with your cone sensor…any info or if it’s sold separately?
    This hydraulic system is overwhelming….like a tracker on steroids..!

    I like it. It cuts down on the amount of surface area to produce solar energy.
    This means a lot less solar panels to produce the same amount of energy.
    There must be a balance between the higher cost of the moving tracker and the savings from using less solar panels and less land.

      The cost thought is prohibit, your better off getting a 2 axis 20/ x 370/380 pannels for home setups

    How long will the system take to pay back the gazillion dollar install price?

      About the same as any other power plant. Have you tried to build a natural gas or nuclear power plant where it is very HOT and very DRY - ie no water for cooling?

      Your opinion is proven very wrong, by the *fact* , their 30 megawatt solar farm is operational. Facts over-rule your opinion.

    Hello can you tell me what type of cells you use and how hot they actually get and what sort of efficiency lost do they get I have a way to keep them much much cooler and I'm wondering if that would be helpful design Improvement on these could you also tell me the maximum amount of Suns that could hit a solar cells of this type or the Silicon type if the cell remains cool

      30%

    • @swamiohm5681
      @swamiohm5681 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Standard cell efficiency is already 18-20% but this is a different cell that can tolerate greater temperature. You are looking at plastic concentrates. The cell is underneath.

      No. The location and time of sunrise, solar noon and sunset changes dramatically over the seasons.

    Cant get it. The whole turning/following system costs 10 times more than the panels. Whats the point ?, just add more panels and forget the complex system.

      Ya, you could only make this solar installation more expensive if you gold plated the entire structure.

      ​@@RynaxAlien"Shadowing" only occurs at sunrise and sunset, when the sun's energy is low. Als, there is software the performs "anti-shadow" tracking, now. So, what do you really know about the "shadow" issue?

      Even bigger issue is self shading when you have multiple of these units close to each other. Unless you can repurpose the land under these units, it is not worth it.

    Too complicated, and 30% efficiency isn't that great. Why don't you tell everyone that your setup won't last more than 5 or 6 years because you're cooking the life out of the PV cells.
