Award-Winning Solar Reflectors Will Cut Production Costs

[Nathanael]

Come on technology, keep bringing the production costs down.


A small solar company has teamed with scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to develop massive curved sheets of metal that have the potential to be 30 percent less expensive than today's best collectors of concentrated solar power.

In an official press release, the NREL and SkyFuel Inc. have announced their SkyTrough Parabolic Trough Solar Concentrating Collectors, an innovative replacement for old, glass-based models, and a hopeful game-changer in solar energy's bid to out-muscle gas and coal in providing electricity for American homes.

I definitely missed that post. I guess more eyes seeing this stuff is not a bad thing, though.
