Solar Energy Forum I have no doubt that we will be successful in harnessing the sun's energy.... If sunbeams were weapons of war, we would have had solar energy centuries ago. ~Sir George Porter

Default Inflatable solar ballons to cut cost of solar power to 29c/w

Inflatable mirrors for capturing sunlight could reduce the cost of solar power to 29 cents by 2010, making the solar energy cost competitive with traditional fossil fuels. The "tensegrity-based concentrated photovoltaic system" could produce a solar farming revolution where farmers would produce both agricultural products and clean energy.

Hey there! I just wanted to tell you that cheap solar energy is on the way!. How about ~10cents/ kWh? Well, that is, depending on where you live. Check out my forum:
