V3Solar has developed a cone-shaped solar energy harvester that
is claimed to generate over 20 percent more electricity than a flat
panel thanks to a combination of concentrating lenses, dynamic spin,
conical shape, and advanced electronics

For the vast majority of those looking to harvest energy from the
sun to satisfy domestic or business electricity needs, the photovoltaic
world is a static and flat one. Even many large scale solar farms
feature row upon row of rigid panels, although there may at least be
some movement as the panels follow the path of the sun as it moves
across the sky. V3Solar's Spin Cell is a little different. It's claimed
to be capable of generating over 20 times more electricity than a flat
panel with the same area of PV cells thanks to a combination of
concentrating lenses, dynamic spin, conical shape, and advanced
electronics.Image Gallery (5 images)
The V3 Spin Cell actually features two cones, one made up of hundreds of triangular PV cells and a static hermetically-sealed outer lens concentrator comprising a series of interlocking rings and a number of tubular lenses
