why dont you just put more mirrors that way you will get more light and they will take less space or you can put more lines smaller and with more mirrors :)
@Marin6991 this wouldn't help. 1000 lines of mirror covering a surface of 6ft by 6ft wouldn't harvest more energy than 100 lines of mirrors covering the same surface (if they are aimed/angled properly).
Watch your electric meter go backwards after installing your wind turbine and solar array! Net Metering will help reduce your bill. Solar only works 8 hours a day. Wind is operable 24 hours a day. Go to to sovdepot dot com We have all your inverters, charge controllers, wind turbine, and solar array needs.
realy youve never herd of Galilao. You live and work on a moving ball the sun is in the center of that movment. Place a colector at the center of a circle and then watch out.

@kellyboy5 I did think about that! But after reflection, a lens wouldn't work since the reflected rays come from different angles. A lens would be effective only if the rays go straight into it in the middle.
this is a good idea, and as far as the criticisms on here thats what engineers are for just like any technology that has ever existed it usually is around for 10 years before it is perfected, or at least efficient, and made cost effective.
my thought is wouldn't it be easier to use a parabolic curve and put the PV cell at the center? like a solar collector except with a PV cell instead of using steam. less moving parts less likely to fail

developing LOW COST flat PV cells will be more benificial in the long term! Remember the saying "Keep It Simple Sonny" How much maintance will be needed on all that mechanical stuff for tracking, not to mention keeping the mirrors clean and aligned
what exactly is the innovation? concentrating sunlight is as old as solar voltaic. solar power is silly anyway. Its weather dependend and notoriously refuses to work during the night. geothermal power has none of those disadvantages, is available on every place on the planet (you dont need cables running over miles) and needs a fraction of energy to build compared to solar voltaic per kWh.
That's a pretty good idea actually.. especially on cloudy days. I wonder whether or not the panels can spend years in the blazing sun, though. I mean it must get hundreds of degrees
they've already had something similar to that for a while now, except that the mirrors were used to concentrate the suns energy to boil water and then make energy when the steam would rotate huge turbins
@NJRocks281 Who says they can't have automated cleaning systems? Your car does. It doesn't take much power for that. You need to be realistic buddy. Furthermore, who says power plants cannot have automated systems?
@NJRocks281 who cleans all the public toilets? Somebody must, I bet they would rather clean mirrors. But hey you might be right, people would rather breath in coal that do a little work to make the world a better place (and save mone)
What waste of money. You can use a satilight dish with mirrors would do the same thing. With a tracker. Is this the best solar tec company can do. I would not invest in their prototype because it has been done, twenty years ago. No new tec here.
Why dont we eliminate the saltwater, flame and sterling engine..
Take the ocillating electrical energy only...and through a system of electro magnets and a rotating shaft have it produce propulsive power... We take the rotating shaft, connect to a generater AND WAHLA!... We kiss the electric companies and the Arabs goodbye!
If I've understood, you're saying something like; take an electric motor (which turns electromagnetism into movement) then hook it up to an electric generator (which turns movement into electromagnetism).
The problem is that the electromagnet is using electricity, then giving it to the generator in the form of movement, which the generator then turns into electricity.
There is no source of new power being produced, you're just passing it around and adding nothing.
obviously it is over complicated...but the intent is to achieve a low profile unit that will sit on a flat industrial roof. we all have a tv much more complex than this device, so the complexity is a mute consideration when mass produced. heftycat pointed out the parabola's have been around a while, but rotate in only one axis not two, and are less efficient. ironically bird poop is and issue, (and snow?)
Agreed... Ya know, there's so much time spent on this, it's crazy if you asked me... Development for tracking/azymuth tuning are about the best that come out of this... But there are other solutions. The parabolic seems to do that already... taking signals from moving satelites without moving itself.. Spending the last few years on this I'd say is a loss in innovation, cause these guys surely know more than me - but their direction....suspect... Though still right general direction...green...
YES! Why not to use a dish???!!! Any kind of dish! Even prime focus is OK! Just replace receiver with solar element, make mirros serface of dish (stainless still) and point it to the sun! Easy and the same concept! Ofcause it will be more expensive than Sat TV dish because dish should have rotator and be pointed always to the sun.
what if the mirrors get dirty, birds poop on them, or go off alignment. I have shivers already anticipating the pain one has to deal with when doing maintenance.
this technology is as old as fuck. they invented nothing new unfortunately. one can even put a sterling engine or water heaters in the hot spot to produce steam and run the steam turbine instead of use of inefficient semiconductors
Learn your history, the found remains of a white man in North America dates before any Spanish or South American set foot in North America. You slow learners never get your facts straight.
Good idea , but look at the vid its a cloudy day .
so , if there are clouds no or limited power ,solar is an answer but what happens if you have bad weather for 5 days a row do we just shut everything down , and then at night were do you get your power ? Wind? Wind power ,good idea ,we have lots of wind farms here in my state , they produce less than 10% on a good day ! So solar is not the answer ,wind is not the answer ,the 2 together wont make it!
Collectors only collect solar energy ( weather it's PV electricity , or heat , to store PV electricity you need battery's . To store solar heat you need large tanks of some kind of liquid that will retain heat at temps that are useful . Solar One in Spain , uses water , Solar 2 the one they are working on has a good shot , they are going to use molten salt to store the heat . Don't get me wrong solar is good , but right now its still in the dark ages ! every day we get one step closer .
Well maybe you should make a vid and show us your system that can run your house for 2 weeks , a 1.4 kw stand alone system only puts out 40kwh per week with 4hrs of direct sun per day , you must have a real big system with a huge battery bank , maybe 10,000 ah ?
1) What is the advantage that the sunflower design has over solar dishes? A solar dish doesn't need all of this tedious manipulation for so many moving parts. All you have to do is get it to point at the sun, and it collects the light via a parabolic dish.
2) At what point does the concentrated light become TOO dangerous, making the PV cell melt? Is this at all a problem?
I thought of this idea many years ago and documented my findings. I'm perplexed by the fact on one has attempted using some form of magnification, outside of what I've researched. I used a magnifying glass to concentrate the sun matter making it much greater and more controllable. Of course, with my not having the resources to conduct further studies I'm at a standstill. However, I'm not so much worried about paten infringement, I'm more concerned with finding a better source of power for all.
why do you move so many mirrors and keep the pv unit stationary??
is it not possible to design a system that concentrates light on one point(which moves as the sun moves..) and have a moving photo voltaic unit which moves along with our focal point??
i think that wud be better - and much more easier..
The reason they don't move the PV unit is because the mirrors would have to be even bigger than they are now , that means more space needed to produce the same amount of electricity !
arent there alot of blacks and asians in these institutions? And before u say 'the people who really control it arent them' where is ur 'proof'. you remind me of the guy from american history X but backwards...at the same time though i have to respect ur ideas and opinions...i cant judge.
pretty sad you miserable people have to bring race and your deep pessimism into a technical and potentially beneficial area of science. or as we say where I come from - knobs
this video is living proof that solar harnessing technology of today is BS. maybe one day when we'll put panels up in space to get 24/7 power and transfer it to earth...yeah.
but in reality the only rational thing to do is energy conservation and nuclear plants (fusion by chance).
These don't need to turn the deserts into a vast dust bowl, no! And turning it into a giant black field (of PV) is obviously a no no. Using billions of post driven COOL mirrors (without the need to bulldoze) is the final solution to UNLIMITED SOLAR thermal power with heat storage.
The CPV concept allows thousands of times of the energy production than normal one sun PV. Why? Cause the mirrors extend the rare (such as CIGS material) "range"! CPV is twice as eff as thermal, but needs storage...
or maybe we just should have kept using the square wheel.............after all we dont realy know is oragin but we do know it was not the whites or the jews.. come on your hate is strong but based on weakness. I would love to be an american citizen and sure would not hate my way in. thats a great way to get hamstrung.
I started a simple wed site, which has some plans and describes what sunview energy missions are. Also there are some more videos explaining the prototypes. Visit
It does indeed look like a complicated way of doing what a parabolic mirror does cheaply and almost automatically (it focusses and centers the sunlight). Though I completely encourage the kind of efforts portrayed in this clip I think a Solar Stirling Engine with parablic mirrors is simpler, cheaper and more effective.
However, there seems to be nothing that troubles menkind as much as simplicity.
A parabolic mirror cost more to make, maintain, and support. A parabolic mirror also acts like a huge sail where as this system can be below the edge of the roof making it impervious to wind. Also cleaning a parabolic mirror of this size would be a pain, and this system can set to be flat and cleaned with a mop.
Actually it's not a really bad Idea. That is until you factor in the cost of cleaning all of those little mirrors. I have solar panels on my roof, and just like your car's windshield, they get dirty all the time. Their efficiency drops greatly when they are dirty. Cleaning them is a bitch, but cleaning all those tiny mirrors would be worse!
Do the rains clean your car? I'm guessing that your car is like mine, and rain washes some surface junk like dust away, but it doesn't actually clean the gunk or make the surface shine again.
And, before you suggest that frequent sprinkling could keep it from getting dirty, what about water spots... and where does the water come from, it's not cheap. doesn't really come from a tap, and sources are limited.
What if you put a flat transparent plastic cover over the hole set of mirrors? then you just have to clean one single surface. The dirt problem persist, but will be a lot simpler to solve
Access for maintenance/repairs would be tough. It does not address the critical water issue. And, I'm no expert in this area but don't some, or all, plastics block the wavelengths in sunlight used for energy by solar panels. Not to mention that plastics break down rapidly when exposed to sunlight for long periods of time, which is what these plastics would be used for.
I really like the mirrors, but I don't think it can be done sustainably; economically and environmentally.
Most of solar cells are developed to use visible sunligth, so if the cover is transparent it will work with this cells. About the breakdown i think you are right, it will have to be glass then... About the acces, if you put this in the top of a house the acces will be tough. But they are designing this thing to be put on top of corporate buldings that are flat and already have acces to air conditioning systems so the only problem will be having someone to clean them
This seems like overkill to me. There's a lot of components that could malfunction. There's a video on youtube about a "solar tower" that the Germans built in Spain. It uses the flow of hot air to power a turbine and is much simpler.
It's certainly a simpler solution, however, there are people who will shun that idea simply because it's an eyesore on the horizon. It's an unfortunate reality, but reality none the less.
To be truly energy independent, people are going to have to rethink the way we live.
"Genereate 1WK per hour" at 5:55 = I think we should understand 1KW-hour, amount of energy produced, as Joule = W . sec, or that doesn't make sense...
Why dont you use a reflector dish made out of a mirror and then use a slew motor? Seems like you need a lesson in physics. Round parabolic shape will provide the most concentration of light for a given area. I would love to be hired on and help you out. Since i solve all your issues in this e mail.
The only advantage I could think of with this one instead of using parabolic dish is because of it low profile mirrors that can be mounted nicely on sloppy roof. If thats the case then they have forgotten about mounting the module at the concentration point, which become pointless.
The dish idea is a much cheaper and easy to clean solution without any custom gears, mirros and motor, where the dish can be mounted with an existing GPS planet tracker (for astronomy) for maximum concentration.
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER! hey check out my tesla wireless energy transfer. its very important, i have proven teslas one wire system which later leads to a world wide energy system through the earth. it will solve the energy crisis. please check it out! its important information you probably dont know!
I'm sorry, I'm not a beleiver in the Tesla Conspiracys. Tesla was a great man and demonstrated the brilliance of wireless electricity. A technology which is still in it's beginning. But, i do not believe that you can generate electricity from the atmosphere. I know people keep going on about the oil companies... but, come on. Maybe 10 years ago but if this technology existed, now would be the perfect time for government's to use it. Especially the USA, it's dieing because of high fuel costs.

what exactly is the innovation? concentrating sunlight is as old as solar voltaic. solar power is silly anyway. Its weather dependend and notoriously refuses to work during the night. geothermal power has none of those disadvantages, is available on every place on the planet (you dont need cables running over miles) and needs a fraction of energy to build compared to solar voltaic per kWh.

concentrated solar pv is pointless........ it will never genrate enough power.
concentrated solar thermal is the way forward.
Bill Gross 1:40 is ceo of esolar as well which uses the thermal variety to generate power in 5MW module for utility electricity.

they've already had something similar to that for a while now, except that the mirrors were used to concentrate the suns energy to boil water and then make energy when the steam would rotate huge turbins

What waste of money. You can use a satilight dish with mirrors would do the same thing. With a tracker. Is this the best solar tec company can do. I would not invest in their prototype because it has been done, twenty years ago. No new tec here.

I have an idea.....
Why dont we eliminate the saltwater, flame and sterling engine..
Take the ocillating electrical energy only...and through a system of electro magnets and a rotating shaft have it produce propulsive power... We take the rotating shaft, connect to a generater AND WAHLA!... We kiss the electric companies and the Arabs goodbye!
HaveAccessAcute 2 years ago
If I've understood, you're saying something like; take an electric motor (which turns electromagnetism into movement) then hook it up to an electric generator (which turns movement into electromagnetism).
The problem is that the electromagnet is using electricity, then giving it to the generator in the form of movement, which the generator then turns into electricity.
There is no source of new power being produced, you're just passing it around and adding nothing.

obviously it is over complicated...but the intent is to achieve a low profile unit that will sit on a flat industrial roof. we all have a tv much more complex than this device, so the complexity is a mute consideration when mass produced. heftycat pointed out the parabola's have been around a while, but rotate in only one axis not two, and are less efficient. ironically bird poop is and issue, (and snow?)

i think the design look very impractical, why no make the mirros a bowl shape like a dish. would that gather more sun light.
rocker66666666 2 years ago 2
Agreed... Ya know, there's so much time spent on this, it's crazy if you asked me... Development for tracking/azymuth tuning are about the best that come out of this... But there are other solutions. The parabolic seems to do that already... taking signals from moving satelites without moving itself.. Spending the last few years on this I'd say is a loss in innovation, cause these guys surely know more than me - but their direction....suspect... Though still right general direction...green...
heftycat 2 years ago
I think that you'd be able to get more light from the same sized mirror with a bowl shape. They're probably more worried about price than size though.
Flat mirrors are just glass on metal, a bowl that can focus decently is probably smaller but more expensive for the same amount of light..
RaymondCorrigan 2 years ago
I was searching for this comment!
YES! Why not to use a dish???!!! Any kind of dish! Even prime focus is OK! Just replace receiver with solar element, make mirros serface of dish (stainless still) and point it to the sun! Easy and the same concept! Ofcause it will be more expensive than Sat TV dish because dish should have rotator and be pointed always to the sun.

Good idea , but look at the vid its a cloudy day .
so , if there are clouds no or limited power ,solar is an answer but what happens if you have bad weather for 5 days a row do we just shut everything down , and then at night were do you get your power ? Wind? Wind power ,good idea ,we have lots of wind farms here in my state , they produce less than 10% on a good day ! So solar is not the answer ,wind is not the answer ,the 2 together wont make it!

That is why you set up large collectors in the deserts that can store energy and be transferred.

Collectors only collect solar energy ( weather it's PV electricity , or heat , to store PV electricity you need battery's . To store solar heat you need large tanks of some kind of liquid that will retain heat at temps that are useful . Solar One in Spain , uses water , Solar 2 the one they are working on has a good shot , they are going to use molten salt to store the heat . Don't get me wrong solar is good , but right now its still in the dark ages ! every day we get one step closer .

fletcho11 2 years ago
Two questions.
1) What is the advantage that the sunflower design has over solar dishes? A solar dish doesn't need all of this tedious manipulation for so many moving parts. All you have to do is get it to point at the sun, and it collects the light via a parabolic dish.
2) At what point does the concentrated light become TOO dangerous, making the PV cell melt? Is this at all a problem?

canada5869 2 years ago
I thought of this idea many years ago and documented my findings. I'm perplexed by the fact on one has attempted using some form of magnification, outside of what I've researched. I used a magnifying glass to concentrate the sun matter making it much greater and more controllable. Of course, with my not having the resources to conduct further studies I'm at a standstill. However, I'm not so much worried about paten infringement, I'm more concerned with finding a better source of power for all.
Mixman77 2 years ago
why do you move so many mirrors and keep the pv unit stationary??
is it not possible to design a system that concentrates light on one point(which moves as the sun moves..) and have a moving photo voltaic unit which moves along with our focal point??
i think that wud be better - and much more easier..
kalpitpjha 2 years ago 2
The reason they don't move the PV unit is because the mirrors would have to be even bigger than they are now , that means more space needed to produce the same amount of electricity !

These don't need to turn the deserts into a vast dust bowl, no! And turning it into a giant black field (of PV) is obviously a no no. Using billions of post driven COOL mirrors (without the need to bulldoze) is the final solution to UNLIMITED SOLAR thermal power with heat storage.
The CPV concept allows thousands of times of the energy production than normal one sun PV. Why? Cause the mirrors extend the rare (such as CIGS material) "range"! CPV is twice as eff as thermal, but needs storage...

May be a silly question, but why not just use a parabolic mirror?
KyeWeedon 3 years ago
It does indeed look like a complicated way of doing what a parabolic mirror does cheaply and almost automatically (it focusses and centers the sunlight). Though I completely encourage the kind of efforts portrayed in this clip I think a Solar Stirling Engine with parablic mirrors is simpler, cheaper and more effective.
However, there seems to be nothing that troubles menkind as much as simplicity.
boomtao 3 years ago
A parabolic mirror cost more to make, maintain, and support. A parabolic mirror also acts like a huge sail where as this system can be below the edge of the roof making it impervious to wind. Also cleaning a parabolic mirror of this size would be a pain, and this system can set to be flat and cleaned with a mop.

Actually it's not a really bad Idea. That is until you factor in the cost of cleaning all of those little mirrors.

Cleaning them is a bitch, but cleaning all those tiny mirrors would be worse!

portugal82 3 years ago
Do the rains clean your car? I'm guessing that your car is like mine, and rain washes some surface junk like dust away, but it doesn't actually clean the gunk or make the surface shine again.
And, before you suggest that frequent sprinkling could keep it from getting dirty, what about water spots... and where does the water come from, it's not cheap. doesn't really come from a tap, and sources are limited.
Still no good.
GreenArmyGuy 3 years ago 2
What if you put a flat transparent plastic cover over the hole set of mirrors? then you just have to clean one single surface. The dirt problem persist, but will be a lot simpler to solve
camilonino84 3 years ago
Access for maintenance/repairs would be tough. It does not address the critical water issue. And, I'm no expert in this area but don't some, or all, plastics block the wavelengths in sunlight used for energy by solar panels. Not to mention that plastics break down rapidly when exposed to sunlight for long periods of time, which is what these plastics would be used for.
I really like the mirrors, but I don't think it can be done sustainably; economically and environmentally.
GreenArmyGuy 3 years ago
Most of solar cells are developed to use visible sunligth, so if the cover is transparent it will work with this cells. About the breakdown i think you are right, it will have to be glass then... About the acces, if you put this in the top of a house the acces will be tough. But they are designing this thing to be put on top of corporate buldings that are flat and already have acces to air conditioning systems so the only problem will be having someone to clean them

Why dont you use a reflector dish made out of a mirror and then use a slew motor? Seems like you need a lesson in physics. Round parabolic shape will provide the most concentration of light for a given area. I would love to be hired on and help you out. Since i solve all your issues in this e mail.
funguy661 3 years ago
The only advantage I could think of with this one instead of using parabolic dish is because of it low profile mirrors that can be mounted nicely on sloppy roof. If thats the case then they have forgotten about mounting the module at the concentration point, which become pointless.
The dish idea is a much cheaper and easy to clean solution without any custom gears, mirros and motor, where the dish can be mounted with an existing GPS planet tracker (for astronomy) for maximum concentration.
