This would be a heck of a lot of waste heat to deal with. You could probably boil water with the leftover energy to turn a steam turbine to power the cooling apparatus. A dual stage solar plant.
- tshaddox 5y agoIt would be less waste heat than a system that captured the same amount of sunlight but converted it to electricity less efficiently, right?
- jandrese 5y agoThe reason for the high level of waste heat is that the system has to operate at thousands of degrees C. There is still a huge potential above room temperature. Most systems work closer to room temperature so there is space to squeeze them in after this system has extracted all of the energy it can.
