PV buttress at Locust Hill
/ 3. PV with Pavel Stary of the Czech Republic
This PV panel (1'-9" x 3'-11"), one
of 26 that will be mounted in a single array to produce a prototypical DC
voltage of 180, is made by British Petroleum. This first array, with its currently
available topnotch cells will serve as reference point as we assess the performance
of future experimental units. With a "brotherhood" of four towers
and arrays projected in current plans (see Mac's rendering),
we hope, as the evolution of the innovative work of William Mook and funds
permit, to test and demonstrate systems that promise remarkable improvements
in efficiency and productivity.
