Adding an Extra Dimension to Solar Energy Installations Thursday, November 1st 2012 5:27 PM By GetSolar Staff. Typically, solar energy installations are thought of as flat and static panels on a rooftop or out in a field. While these may be the most common types of photovoltaic power systems seen around town, they are certainly not the only designs used for converting sunlight into electricity. Recently, researchers from around the world have been designing new solar power systems that add a third dimension and then some to photovoltaics. Cone-Shaped Solar Power System One of the more inventive photovoltaic designs to come out recently is from V3Solar. Instead of flat panels, their design is shaped into cones. All around the edge are thousands of triangular solar cells that rotate to take in the most amount of sunlight, as it is able to capture coming in at a variety of an...
