The range can be extended easily! I figured that out a long time ago!

Sound so easy to install, but will Hydro like the competition?

I don't understand why one can't have abundant power to live well without someone trying to tell me how to live. I've lived in other countries where energy was very expensive and institutions where people study and work were always dark and uncomfortable, all in the name of conservation. That isn't the quality of life that I want. The idea that solar energy is supposed to be cheaper and provide has never come to fruition for 30 years.

The people in this country that are saving allot of money on there homes energy are making changes and investing in there own systems and not bitching about why they can,t get cheep power and waist it like you.I suggest you close the door on your trailer home,turn off the gas fireplace and wait until the power fairy arrives at your door with endless free power.

I'm not lowering my standard of living so I can pay more for more expensive electricity. That's obscene!

mrnatron (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

There is no cheaper system based on your need of consumption;Notice,If you adapted to a more efficient model, the affordability grows as your willingness to change your consumption does.What I am saying is you can't save money using solar if your current inefficient home/lifestyle demands more than you can supply whithout the luxury of fossil fuel.

Why run the solar tracker on a 9v battery (irony) why not solar cells? As for the limited range, can mirrors or Fresnel lenses be used in a chain of sorts, to reach other floors?

Great Idea but why does everybody use a dish why not use a globe shape solar collector. Dishes always need to move but a ball shaped solar collecting, can get all angles on its panels. A application like a light hub, for your limitations of transfering the light across the entire building, just use a hub of collecting the energy and send it to a electric battery and then send it to the second floor.
