V3Solar: 20x more power output/area than flat PV
- sbierwagen 14y agoSolar concentration only works with direct sunlight. Even a small amount of haze makes power output plummet. Outside of deserts, concentrating solar isn't terribly useful, and in deserts, you want a technology that allows better concentration ratios, like solar thermal. There's a reason concentrated PV is unpopular. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_photovoltaics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_photovoltaics
