3D Solar towers boost electricity production by around 50%
The vertical design and smart tracking functions of the towers offer big improvements over flat panel arrays.
Currently, most solar farms consist of flat panels laid out across the ground or on rooftops. But in much the same way that this is an inefficient way to house people, it's also not a great way to harvest the Sun's energy. Tall skyscrapers can hold significantly more people on a small footprint, so why not apply that thinking to solar panels as well?
