CoolEarthSolar.com has a patented idea for
inflatable solar collectors that are much
cheaper than polished mirrors to concentrate
sunlight onto Photovoltaic chips. Their
design is 400x cheaper than polished aluminum
mirrors, will withstand 130 mph winds, lasts
a year, repairs with tape, takes 15 minutes
to change out, costs $2 per balloon, or 18
cents per watt, compared to $5 per watt for
conventional installations, and has a minimal
effect on the ground underneath the array!
