Their Carrizzo plant is about 175 MW for a square mile. Nevada Solar One, a trough design, is 64 MW for 0.54 square miles, or about 120 MW per square mile. Much less area efficiency than the CLFR.

Close, but no sigar. The problem with this technology is that it uses indium and gallium which are too rare to be world changing, and the amounts they use are significant. Close, but no sigar.

]]> Comment on 80% Efficient Solar Panel?! Works at Night?! by Cyril R. http://solarhope.wordpress.com/2008/02/07/80-efficient-solar-panel-works-at-night/#comment-188 Cyril R. Sun, 13 Jul 2008 14:25:42 +0000 http://solarhope.wordpress.com/?p=85#comment-188 What's really interesting is the potential simplicity of manufacturing - just stamp them out on a substrate, combined with very high efficiency. That's unheard of. It gets even better when you realize this technology could use thermal storage as a storage medium. Which is also very cheap, scalable and efficient. With storage, solar could provide the majority of all power needs. These nano antennas could also be used to convert waste heat into electricity. That's a potential market bigger than all electricity generation in the world today! Powerplants, cars, industrial heat processes... imagine the possibilities. Seriously potential disruptive tech.

]]> Comment on China’s Solar-Powered City by Adrian http://solarhope.wordpress.com/2007/05/22/chinas-solar-powered-city/#comment-185 Adrian Thu, 17 Apr 2008 04:40:25 +0000 http://solarhope.wordpress.com/2007/05/22/chinas-solar-powered-city/#comment-185 Another solution that is gaining momentum is the idea of solar power stations. Rather than individual houses creating solar energy there is a centralized solar power station that creates power that is distributed to the city much like the utility grids that most people are familar with. A solar power station uses thermal rays rather than light to create power. The heat creates steam that powers a generator. One such station that has received press recently is the solar power station in Seville, Southern Spanish known as Solucar. It currently creates enough power to service 6000 homes in Seville. It is still being developed and the fully rolled out station hopes to be able to support up to 600 000 people in the near future.

and last year we used solar panels ın our car when we are racing
but our output some low as you know
and we wana use solar cells ın that race
can you say how can we buy that solar cells???
