Lateat video of this product: www.eco-company.tv 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 ...

Wouldn’t they explode when the air within them becomes hot.
wow, nice simple approach to a parabolic concentrator. very nice.
I wasn’t really impressed by the quality of the video, but I took a look at the site and was much more impressed with the FAQ’s etc…
Actually tested in 125 mph winds, and designed so the concentrator can produce electricity in winds up to 40 mph.
The wires and harnesses are very stable.
Too light to keep still in wind.
Hey, check out my website at ScientificallyGreener(Dot) com and get all the new and improved Equipments to build or buy your own solar panels and wind energy turbine systems ScientificallyGreener(Dot) com is a website that sells the most modern environmental products available
UL approve, who cares if they help do the work more proficiently, here in my country we don’t have that stupid agency, we just care if the thing is useful
are they UL approve….
thats precisely the use , you get to build something with the finite supply of oil instead of using it once for energy.
It lasts a very long time though.

yeah, with special lens that increase the power of the sun like microscope lens
That’s truly amazing! I slashed my electric bill in half! look here: solar.xfollow.me (Copy to your browser’s address bar)
that’s a beautiful idea
Must be funny for my friend hunter !
I don’t know what your comparing to as far as operational, maintence and construction cost. The current pannels installed on the roof are averaged at $16,000 grand start up cost. After about 20 years they have to be replaced. They’re not discarding the idea. It’s the cost comparison over the long run. And do you have the extra money to get started. Because you know you can’t get a loan.
My thoughts exactly… constant repairs after a while. But hey I always encourage new technology. I am not so sure this is it, but it is interesting.
I think it’s really funny how people are so skeptical of solar energy and how they want to discard the idea when we’re not going to be running out of any solar energy for a long, long time. That’s the hole in their entire argument. And once you have these systems in place, they’re the cheapest form of power available because their operational and maintenance costs are much lower than their construction costs.
We generally use solar collectors to heat water in Turkey.
how long will the plastic last in the UV rays?
Seems a great idea for poor people if they can be made to last. I hope some clever energy researchers can help solve the reliability problem
Why dont the made a solar panel with like special glass that makes suns energy %50000 more powerful to get like 10000 watts of power per second :D
Since it use the optic principle of a concave mirror, it need to be direct pointed to the sun, and keept pointed. So as the sun move, relative moving, since Erth that moves, the ballon need to be pointed accompanyng the sun.
agreed
it is probably very simple to make them last longer… couldn’t one dip them in some kind of plastic/material that could extend its life? or is it the photovoltaic parts that degrade over time?
Whats that mean exactly.?
