Re: [SunGrid] Re: Sunball [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

It is an impressive array indeed.. I cannot quite see how it moves, but a consideration is that being closer to the equator than Adelaide, Melbourne, etc, it does not need the same degree of movement to follow the sun throughout the seasons. It would need horizon to horizon, and perhaps 20 degrees? (just a gueass) to cope for the seasons.
It could be mounted on hydralic rams at the top of the sun cubes in the photo. These could be used to rotate it and also lift/lower either end to allow it to face the sun. Anything is possible, although some would believe it is only done in photoshop.

Hi All,
 
Can anyone make sense of the new photo on the greenandgold website (see attached)?
 
It looks like a wall of suncubes (with flat panels above) except each cube is 2X2 instead of the 3X3 that we have seen so far.  Additionally, it would appear that the wall is fixed, i.e., unable to track the sun.  Obviously it's hard to tell from a single front-on photo.  I can't find any explanation for the picture on the website.
 
Thanks,
 
Kevin.

Hi All

I have been offline for a few months. Just rejoined. What is the
status with the SunCube?

David

Hi Dave,

Emcore makes the best CPV receiver module in the market. They invested
heavily to supply the anticipated world demand and moved first. The
demand is building but probably not as quickly as they believed. Well
before the end of 2009, they will be flat out and expanding production.

As for the SCIG, Indian is on line as is Korea. Spain has built their
first 100 units and Australia is doing likewise.

Like someone once said "Timing is a Bitch".

All the best,

Greg,

When will they be available in Oz?

Cheers,
Peter Reed

What is status of retail sales. I have not heard anything from Zolar.

David

Hi David,

I have been told that Square have a Indian backlog they need to get
through. I suspect once that happens exports will start to occur.

You could also have a look at the websites of the fabulous SCIG
(SunCub! e International Group)

The Korean and Spanish operations are particularly impressive!

I think you will find that even in Spain the sun still rises and sets on the horizon! I'm sure that Mr Watson will be along shortly to tell us all about how ...
