These genius “Solar Sunflowers” can generate 60 times more energy than typical solar panels 

This is the Solar Sunflower, a Swiss-made array that could be the future of solar energy. Looking like a huge, mirrored satellite dish, it combines photovoltaic solar power and concentrated solar thermal power to harness the sun’s energy at an efficiency of roughly 80% — a staggering amount. They’re promising but not without complications.

I’m always a slut for fossil fuel alternatives
