Good by another couple trillion dollars in tax money to pay for this. It can only provide a minuscule amount of electricity consumed in an office. We’re talking a few light bulbs. There is only so much you can harvest from sunlight. It doesn’t matter if you have 100% efficient solar collectors. The sun only puts out so much light and you can’t change that.
True, but the solar intensity varies quite a bit. In the areas where the added power from these collectors would be handy are likely to be ones where A/C is heavily used. Conveniently, the panels put out the most power when A/C use it highest. Diverting some of that radiant energy helps cool things as well.
On a sunny day, we crank out kWs from our 17 roof panels, far more than we use. Somoneone in the PNW, no way.
