Felicia Padillla 5th period- "Giant glass orb could replace the solar panel"

We all know that the sun is essential for life on earth. It stimulates photosynthesis and allows plants to grow. The oxygen created by these plants secure our living conditions. The sun also keeps the water in its cycle. We have always known that the sun is an energy source that is provided by the earth. For the last 40 years we have been using P.V panels to try to capture its energy. However, because the earth moves around the sun, it decreases the panel's efficiency. The dual-axis tracking system was invented to try and defeat this inhibitor. However, this product is extremely expensive, and the weather doesn't always agree with it. But someone found a way to generate more energy, a more sustainable source of energy, and will guarantee the weather will have no impact on it. This revamped model of the tracking system is shaped like a sphere and is transparent. Andre Broussel is the inventor of this fascinating new mechanism. The company's slogan is "the planet is not green, it is transparent."


In my opinion this is a great invention. I have always been concerned with alternative energy sources, and this looks like it could be a long term solution.
