http://solarsystems.com.au/ CPV The ultra-high efficiency concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) power generation system technology is based on the use of the company’s proprietary ‘Dense Array’ Convertor Technology which utilises the world’s highest efficiency triple junction (TJ) solar cells, capable of converting sunlight into electricity at around 40% efficiency


 * Energy final Add in a section about making a sealed billet or container, filled with either salt or synthetic

oil, which is heated with a FMA to 300degrees. A second container filled with oil is circulated through this sealed container to heat the oil to 80degrees C. Water is then finally circulated through the second container to heat for domestic usage.

 * Heliostat Mirrors Pending
 * Mirror positioners,
 * SoharaDotOrg This idea won't work, the Fresnel Mirror Array from SolarLinks is preferred.

 * Fresnel Lens construction Notes on making a large round frensel lens with smaller conic(triangle) shaped lenses. There is a patent that has four separate fresnel assemblies attached to one foundation somewhere under links.

Parabolic troughs

 * Sopogy trough Could hack patent, but the Fresnel reflector(not patents) is a better solution.
