We're speaking of radiant heat fluxes in the > 1kW/m^2 range for a sunny day.
- nknighthb 13y agoI need more than theoretical maximums to tell me this is practical. At what efficiency could it be captured, and at what cost? If 1 square meter of "thermal panel" were to cost as much as 1 square meter of modern CPU core, and then operate at 1% efficiency, I wouldn't see many practical applications.
