Will Skyline Solar's High Gain Solar (HGS) approach succeed?
- Combining parabolic troughs with silicon solar cells and 1-axis tracking is brilliant! (16%, 13 Votes)
- Only if HGS delivers on LCOE, modules are certified, and operating data proves the system is bankable. (24%, 20 Votes)
- High Gain Solar (HGS) is marketroid for mid (middling) concentration. (16%, 13 Votes)
- Maybe Skyline Solar should focus on 1-axis tracking with 1x sun modules? (7%, 6 Votes)
