Why Design Now?: Z-20 Concentrated Solar-Power System
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Why? This solar technology is distinguished by its use of mirrors to capture light and focus it onto a small generator to produce electricity and thermal energy. The parabolic optical dish follows the sun from dawn until dusk, harnessing seventy percent of the solar energy that hits it, making it much more efficient than conventional flat photovoltaic panels.

This is so cool, I want to do this project to and do more experimentation to get the best result for solar power...
-
can I buy one in México ?
-
vapourware? I heard about this 6 years ago, yet I haven't heard anything about it since. 70% sound too good to be true, yet it has not achieve commercial success, why is that?
-
he said that they use pv that has been used by satelites around the earth. these were very expencive, don't know whats tehyre price now.
-
almost there
-
awesome creativity :):):):)

It is way cheaper to do it that way. Think of the effort of polishing a large mirror into optical specs. But the math works the same in this type of array. Radio astronomers use fields of small parabolic dishes and then massage the data into a whole. This is easier and cheaper than making a single telescope like the one at Arecibo.

why use such a complex array of mirrors instead of one large parabolic mirror?
-
very nice job !
-
can someone help me with " The parabolic optical dish follows the sun from dawn until dusk" how many economic ways this can be done?
-
why not use that 5,5kw of hot water to power stirling generators?
-
SORRY YOU HOT WATHER AND SEND TO THE HOMES OR IS FOR MADE ELECTRIC
-
this is a hybrid solar photovoltaic system and im wondering what kind of pv technology is used to that system . anyway its a promising technology for cheap R.E.S. power supply. nice video
