multiple-6401It's easy to mistake these buoyant solar panels from CoolEarth for a child's balloons caught in a power line, but these shiny floating photovoltaic panels are scientist's latest attempt at getting the highest possible efficiency out of a solar cell with the fewest materials. The Solar Balloon's light material and bowl-like shape allows for sunlight to be directed to its center without having to track the sun's movement throughout the day....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/solar-balloons-coolearth-gets-21-million-in-funding/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
