    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.

    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.

    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

    Interesting innovation. I wonder, they mentioned that the 9V battery runs for ~ a week. Now, when it eventually runs out of energy does it recharge itself using solar panels? That is, if the 9V battery is rechargeable in the first place. Anyways, fiber optic lighting is an old innovation. The only difference here is that the person decided to concentrate pure sunlight through a lens which is attached to fiber optics. Still a great power saver!

    Employers don’t want you to feel like you should go home. They want artificial light to trick you into working for them ALL NIGHT. “Boss, what’s the ti-” “WORK TIME”. :F

    Nano solar cells …
    Nano solar cells energized with a nano laser, from a distance of a meter, and even under water/ used in energize a Atomic submarine core to charge devices like the core clock and temputure from a distance of three meters from the atomic core devices, safer no wires needed just a nano laser charging nano solar cells just laser ray instead of the sun light.

    Business will look at system and installation costs compared to the anticipated electricity bill over 7 years or so. Chances are, many of them would would upgrade if the gains were not trivial, and I suspect some companies will use this in all new buildings.

    please check out my site. i made a cosmic ray collector/ high energy collector. its easy to make and i show you how to build it for yourself.its like solar but works day and night!! area is proportional to the amt of energy you will get. it will be able to charge batteries after a few more test. please check it out and comment tell me what you think!!. subscribe if your interested, im still trying to perfect it. thank you!!!

    ERASE, ERASE, ERASE.I just realized what site I was commenting on. No I am not high. I just realized that I could find all my past post and have spent the night replying to all post. This process that this man has invented is remarkable I want to introduce this in my home.

    There is a video where a man has a business that uses a 9-volt battery to track the sun he uses fiber to deliver light to indoors. He filters out the unwanted waves uses it to reduce energy consumption and reduce depression. I don’t remember where I saw it but I was searching solar lighting and he popped up with an operating business.

    You are right fiber …
    You are right fiber optics could work in a underground grow operation cut your lighting cost in half. I bet utilities and DEA use your electric consumption, your utility bill and your homes temperature as a barometer to who is growing at home. I conclude this because that is how they find weed from the air it has a specific temp different from other plants. Fiber cable can be used for solar usage and considerably increase output and deliver light just where you need it.Get you some experiment!

    Yes, unless the skylight has intelligent glass that becomes more opaque when the sun shines and more transparent when it is cloudy.
