Now if they can just take that “waste heat’ and turn it into electricity thru a thermoelectric material we’ll be all set.......
Exactly what I’m thinking. Therrionics + CPV for direct electrical generation. We could even do a Quadruple combination of Thermionics + CPV using Salt Water to cool the system, which would be turned to steam, further generating electricity AND we could desalinate the salt water. Sun + Heat + Salt Water In , Electricity + fresh water out.
