What
is spherical solar?
Our
Northern hemisphere ancestors saw a flat World with a sun that rose
and fell every day along a circle slanted to the South. This circle
moved with the seasons along an axis at a right angle to the slant.
When the circle centre along the axis was high and in the North, it
was Summer; when low and in the South, it was Winter. This equipment
invertedly copies this vision of the World to produce a system
capable of collecting solar rays from flat mirrors arranged as a
slice of a sphere.
Why
would it be cheap on a mass scale?
The
mirrors are arranged to not need expensive fittings; just preformed
extrusions. This reduces the cost to a fraction of that of
equivalents. Focusing is simple and details will be provided as this
site expands.
Results
Based
on February to December 2008 UK tests, a solarsphere of this type
can produce enough heat to make a well insulated house self
sufficient in both space heating and hot water.
