  [David Feiman, Professor, Ben Gurion University]:
  "As the high technology advance and you came up with cells that are more efficient, you remove the cell, recycling it and put a new one, and you upgrade it in one lifetime of the system."
  How economical is the solar sizzler?
  [Roy Segev, CEO, Zenith Solar]: (Eng.)
  "We will be able harvest a kilowatt/hour by approximately 8.6 cents over a period of 15 years under the consumption of the Israeli sun."
  Zenith Solar plans to develop smaller units that can be installed in the backyard or on house rooftops by the end of 2010.

  The latest star performer in solar cell technology comes from Israel. The developers say their new panels offer an inexpensive way to collect both electric and thermal energy.
  One year ago professor Feiman showed us his pilot plan for an innovative solar panel based on a simple concept: Replace large areas of expensive photovoltaic cells with inexpensive glass and concentrate sunlight onto a very small area of cells.
  The Israeli startup Zenith Solar has now launched its first working power plan based on Feimans technology.
  What could be more suitable for the occasion than a song to the sun?

Truly Amazing Advanced Solar Cell from Israel

Once again, Israel found yet another solution to make solar energy and free energy, amazing. The inventions that come from here are just awesome. I can't wait to see where all this goes.

clipped from wejew.com Truly Amazing Advanced Solar Cell from Israel - Professor David Faiman, Head of the Ben-Gurion National Solar Energy Research Center and developer of a new solar cell that can produce over one thousand times more electric power than a conventional photovoltaic or PV, states, 'The achievement is that we separate out the collection function of a photovoltaic cell to the light conversion to electricity function. When we collect the light, instead of using a huge area of solar cells, we use an equal area of cheap glass mirrors and they are curved in such a way as to concentrate the light onto a very small solar cell, the size of just one cell, and in this way you concentrate the light a thousand times and you can get a thousand times more power out of a small cell.' This is truly an amazing development with several practical applications.
