New Israeli Technology for Solar Power Production

Israeli national Certer Solar EnergyAt the Negev desert in Israel is located the National Centre for Solar Energy, the site where a new promising technology in solar power generation has been developed.

Because Israel is typically a sunny nation, its scientists have established the development of new solar panel that magnifies the sunlight passing through.

The researchers claim that the new solar power development would significantly reduce the usual high cost associated with solar power generation.

The new panel has a simple reflector that is made up of several mirrors to intensify the sunlight collected. The light collected could intensify for over a thousand times. As a matter of fact, that intensified light could even burn up a person. It is that hot.

The new technology eliminates the need for more solar cell area. A 10-cm sunlight receiver could intensify light and produce energy that is equivalent to that produced in a conventional receiver with an area of 10 meters.

Thus, with massive production, Israeli scientists assert that the newly invented technology would help lower the total cost of solar power production.
Indeed, the new technology could be Israel’s contribution to energy production in these times when non-renewable energy sources are rapidly dwindling.
