That's why its called HYBRID solar lighting, at night nearly 100% of the power is from the lights, during the day about 20% depending on weather.

Can you provide a source for your infomation? I just googled Werner and it only showed your comment here.

This video is informative, tho seasonal effective disorder? I have to laugh at that one.

I have solar lighting already, its called a window.

If you took 10 florescent light tubes and spray painted them black. Then connect them in series. Lay them in the sun over a large mirror. The heat from the sun will activate the phosphor particles in the tubes, generating a current across the gas inside that amplifies itself along the axis of the tube. This is known as the "Shtupp effect", named after the famous German scientist Werner Von Humpenshtuppen. The energy produced in this small system can power a locomotive.

it would be awesome if they replaced the 9v battery with solar power.

adnanahmad23 (December 5, 2008 at 6:20 pm)

spectacular, but yeah night time would still be a challenge

Shazam0 (November 25, 2008 at 4:48 am)

But uhh. What about at Night time XD

Just AWESOME, my mind is swimming in ideas by knowing this!!!! omg :-D

The range can be extended easily! I figured that out a long time ago!

Sound so easy to install, but will Hydro like the competition?

I don't understand why one can't have abundant power to live well without someone trying to tell me how to live. I've lived in other countries where energy was very expensive and institutions where people study and work were always dark and uncomfortable, all in the name of conservation. That isn't the quality of life that I want. The idea that solar energy is supposed to be cheaper and provide has never come to fruition for 30 years.

mrnatron (October 25, 2008 at 2:51 pm)

The people in this country that are saving allot of money on there homes energy are making changes and investing in there own systems and not bitching about why they can,t get cheep power and waist it like you.I suggest you close the door on your trailer home,turn off the gas fireplace and wait until the power fairy arrives at your door with endless free power.

astralislux (October 25, 2008 at 2:33 am)

I'm not lowering my standard of living so I can pay more for more expensive electricity. That's obscene!

mrnatron (October 25, 2008 at 12:00 am)

There is no cheaper system based on your need of consumption;Notice,If you adapted to a more efficient model, the affordability grows as your willingness to change your consumption does.What I am saying is you can't save money using solar if your current inefficient home/lifestyle demands more than you can supply whithout the luxury of fossil fuel.

Why run the solar tracker on a 9v battery (irony) why not solar cells?
As for the limited range, can mirrors or Fresnel lenses be used in a chain of sorts, to reach other floors?

humexavier (October 15, 2008 at 1:55 am)

Great Idea but why does everybody use a dish why not use a globe shape solar collector. Dishes always need to move but a ball shaped solar collecting, can get all angles on its panels. A application like a light hub, for your limitations of transfering the light across the entire building, just use a hub of collecting the energy and send it to a electric battery and then send it to the second floor.

ashwynanand (October 9, 2008 at 10:12 pm)

hey send me details about your product and the cost.

AnnyPan (October 2, 2008 at 7:24 am)

Hey people, I'm actually involved in the development of a PSS (product service system) about a similar product, so if anybody is interested in talking about solar lighting, please contact me! Anny

dragonlaughing (September 13, 2008 at 4:30 am)

You can build one of these systems for a few hundred dollars. You'd have to do the work of putting it together. But it's not rocket science. This will be one of the first things that will be adopted for store lighting and home lighting.

How2MakeSolarPanel (September 10, 2008 at 10:05 am)

Hey, I have full instructions on how to make your own Solar Panel)

crazydak95 (August 12, 2008 at 8:05 pm)

oops sorry my mistake soz bit of a dipshit lol SOZ :(

crazydak95 (August 12, 2008 at 8:00 pm)

WTF it said there would be lighting in the fucking video it is a load of shite

astralislux (July 31, 2008 at 9:45 pm)

Ironically, there is still no system that's cheaper than oil or coal. No family with an average household salary can build a solar system, including this system, and save money. Everyone who builds these systems always talk about critical mass to make these systems afordable, but we're now at 30 years and there's still no technology that can do it. It's disappointing.

Tr1llobite (July 31, 2008 at 4:12 am)

build a rechargeable 9v battery connected to a solar panel that produces 9v with single pass diodes and you can have the panel run all day (and i guess night) and be able to move around even when there is not enough light at sunrise for the solar panel alone to move around, and you'll never have to replace the battery :D
