They are shown as being on the streets, perhaps to show them with people in society, but I would envision them more as something that would cover every possible rooftop in town, to maximize exposure.

Cause 20x with the same panels is to say they only get 5% of possible energy. Oh, and 20x is a huge stretch, maybe 5-10x.

Very nice design, though I would think with all the concentrators and rotating magnets you'd want to shell out for some double or triple junction cell at least. Also an exhaust system for waste heat for thermal or motive power would be a nice idea. I also have taken interest in it.

I would like to be kept inform on the development. Thanks. This is very interesting. I would like to be kept inform on the development. Thanks.
