Betaray solar generator

How does a betaray work?

The Betaray is designed to concentrate diffuse light and generate a powerful beam of solar energy. The Betaray can harness solar energy from the sun, the moon, or even the gray sky of a cloudy day, whereas conventional PV collectors need 4 times more incoming light before they start producing power.

Can a betaray harness solar energy?

Then, just a few months ago, they did it again: this time releasing a new and improved prototype–called the Betaray that can harness solar energy from the sun, the moon, or even the gray sky of a cloudy day.

How does a beta.ray solar panel work?

Beta.ray solar panels work by concentrating the diffused light from the sun through a ball lens to a collector which contains the solar panels. The beta.ray's simple spherical geometry creates an optical phenomenon that helps overcome the high size and cost of traditional photo-voltaic panels, which are sensitive to weather.

What is a spherical glass solar energy generator?

The spherical glass solar energy generator resolves a problem with lagging clean energy infrastructure and high capital investments. The potential for it to deliver stable electricity to buildings, EVs, and more should not be overlooked. The Beta.ray 1.00 uses a ball lens filled with water to concentrate diffused sunlight.

What is Beta Ray 1.00?

Broessel — a German architect — felt inspired to create the PV sphere known as Beta.ray 1.00 after watching his daughter play with glass marbles. This newly patented solar technology is one of a kind, capable of delivering high-performance solar energy to various environments, structures, and systems.

How does the Beta Ray work?

The Beta Ray solar device can connect to both standard and hybrid collectors to convert light and/or thermal energy into electricity. Its use of multi-junction cells demonstrates the great potential of this solar device, as multi-junction cells are specifically designed for concentrator systems.
