MIT solar dish could revolutionize global energy production

I learned about this company that is developing more efficient solar technology which combines a improved photovaltic cell, parabolic dish design, sun tracking and fuel cell storage for a home/consumer set-up that is more cost-effective and renuewable.

They are competing with several other companies with simular patented designs. If it reaches mass production there could be a bright future ahead.

they could be offering tax incentives for consumers who have there homes converted much like the rebate on hybrids offered in various parts of the country.

Up until now this type of green technology has only been feasible for weathly hollywood excentrics but is becoming a viable solution for more and more people

Now, combine a micro solar concentrator, photovoltaic panels and a heat transfer system. A parabolic concentrator focuses sunlight onto panels that generate electricity. The concentrated sun light is also used to heat water, which can be hooked up to power a building’s air conditioning needs. A tracker moves the concentrator to follow the sun throughout the day.
