  • 6:14 Stainless steel doesn't rust. Thanks for the data!

  • What concerns heat production for heating backup or hot water production concentrators (as heliostats) are fine !!

    What makes a heliostat a little more complicated, is the two-axis active tracking that this requires..

    Why this all interrests me and why I´m telling this ?: I am environmental engineer.

  • Hi "eurogoldexchange" !

    40-50 Euro / m2 hmmmm, not really cheap..What is the name of the producer of this silver coated sheet aluminium ?

    Attention !

    You cannot adopt too highly concentrated on standard PV cells (c=1.1 to 1.3 might be ok for some cells) !!

    There are spechial cX cells for this application (yes this exists already) !

    I have a few test cells if one want´s to do experiments with it..

  • Good theory and research.

    The proof is in the details!

  • The focus on electrical power is misguided, in my view. Heat is the energy. It can be stored in a large mass which could be integrated into architecture of future buildings. If a central, concrete mass was heated by solar heaters, while supporting the structure, it could radiate heat through the structure without big electrically driven fans, and ductwork.

    How much power does central heating take, apart from fuel? More than you'd generate from the sun.

  • Thanks!

  • Very interesting info, wish I had the money to invest in it.
