That's pretty sweet. Probably should have been under the other solar power threat that talked about automating the process. Also, has anyone read the article on the Chinese teenager that created a new design for solar panels that is suppose to get 80% efficiency (the norm today is around 15%)? This isn't the first article I saw. I think that one was on netwire.com, but this is a soon to be commercial version (if they stop holding everything back).
It is said to cost about $400 when it comes on the market, is only four feet tall, and can produce enough power to satisfy a 4000 sq/ft home. That's pretty large, though we don't have constant wind (especially at lower elevations).
