Lightweight plastic mirrors drop cost of solar thermal energy by 40%

Depends on what kind of lithium battery you are talking about. Also, there are other batteries coming on the market now that promise far higher energy density. Some of them high enough to power aircraft.

You've been squawking about that for well over a decade.

Quite obviously your installation has something wrong with it.

Obviously you are a complete moron commenting on something you ain't never seen.

Old crock is a moron

True dat...

I remember getting pissed off at pay phones that robbed my money and I punished a few of them, but you could never put a mark on one of them. That plastic was indestructible.

You are powerless compared to UV radiation.

A plastic solar panel wouldn't make it through one Arizona summer.

Yeah no shit

Awesome advancement!

Give up solar will never work

So what theoretical potential are you expecting batteries will get to

UV radiation is meaningless without man

Like model aircraft?

UV radiation was around billions of years before man, and will be here billions of years after we are forgotten.

It effects evolution of life, the climate, and has deleterious effect on the materials on every planet in our Universe.

My 2003 Dodge Caravan has almost 200,000 miles, has sat outside all of it's life, and has two small plastic mirrors that are original equipment. Seems that especially designed plastic mirrors for that purpose would work. And, by the way, the inside of cars in direct sunlight get very hot, and those mirrors still work.

pics?
