Is Zenith Solar The Most Efficient Solar Energy Collector In The World?
As the old saying goes: necessity is the mother of invention. And nothing appears to be truer than in the field of alternative forms of energy, especially solar energy. An Israeli company, Zenith Solar, has announced the invention of a new type of solar energy collector that is said to be much more efficient than current photovoltaic ones. Green Prophet has covered the Israeli solar company ZenithSolar (or Zenith Solar) a number of times. Most recently when it launched its new solar energy farm last month. The new collection device, is a series of rotating dishes made up of mirror which are said to be able to collect as much as 75% of the sun’s energy or five times those of ordinary solar collectors. The use of mirrors will reduce the need for so many photovoltaic cells as are required in other types of solar collectors, making the new system much more affordable, and even comparable to generating electricity with fossil fuels. Zenith Solar is working on this project along with a depar
