Re:New concentrator could help solar panels capture more sun... by andrewflnr on Wednesday June 29, 2022 @04:30AM (#31917713)
How much more mass, though? Mass is likely to be at a premium anywhere you can't just also slap down a few more cheap cells, e.g. where there's not much space.

Good points by you and your sibling poster. Maybe this tech really would have a hard time finding a niche when considering mass along with cost/performance characteristics, given other premium or economic options. Maybe on the roof of an expensive high rise it would make sense? On boats? Hard to say.
