- saeranv 6y agoYeah, or even a quarter sphere since the sun only occupies the southern part of the hemisphere (north of equator).
- thelazydogsback 6y agoPresumably you could have the spheres mounted on a reflective surface so you'd still power the upper- and lower- hemi's at the same time (or oblique spheroids or whatever they are when the sun's at an angle)
