Solar energy experts in Germany are putting sun-catching cells under the magnifying glass with astounding results, according to multiple reports.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems team is perfecting the use of lenses to concentrate sunlight onto solar panels, reducing size and costs while increasing performance, Interesting Engineering and PV Magazine reported.

The "technology has the potential to contribute to the energy transition, facilitating the shift toward more sustainable and renewable energy sources by combining minimal carbon footprint and energy demand with low levelized cost of electricity," the researchers wrote in a study published by the IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics.

The sun-catcher is called a micro-concentrating photovoltaic, or CPV, cell. The lens makes it different from standard solar panels that convert sunlight to energy with average efficiency rates around 20%, per MarketWatch. Fraunhofer's improved CPV cell has an astounding 36% rate in ideal conditions and is made with lower-cost parts. It cuts semiconductor materials "by a factor of 1,300 and reduces module areas by 30% compared to current state-of-the-art CPV systems," per IE.

Please stop promoting this line.

There is a growing mountain of evidence people did vote. Votes weren’t counted. Overseas ballots never arrived.

This line of commenting validates the election for them.

He’s a cheater. He cheated in 3 elections. 1st one was too obvious 2nd one too many people voted against him to make the cheat work, making him think that the other side rigged it 3rd one was the smoothest fix ever with Elon money and know-how.

If you’ve wondered why everything looks like a coup since he got in, perhaps it is because it is one.

Probably Clickbait stupid thing but I like how they got the detail of him having five kids right.

There’s no way a guy like that only has two kids. They all want to infest the world with their DNA.

The real dystopian thing for me is that you guys get paid to donate blood. That is just insane.

LOL

You think it is about citizenship do you? That’s cute.

Just be white. That’s all. This is ethnic cleansing, and it will get a lot worse over the coming months.

Also, your elections were rigged. You’re living through a hostile takeover of your country. If election laws didn’t matter, and national security breaches didn’t put him in jail, you really think this has anything to do with legality?

They are just using the belief of the masses in law against themselves, the same way we all believe a dollar has “gold backing”.

The moment we stop believing, is the moment we will be free.

Edit: If you’ve wondered why everything looks like a coup since he got in, perhaps it is because it is one.

I would be much more open to listening to the mainstream conspiracy believers if they didn’t so easily resort the name-calling. If you want to look like an arsehole, be my guest

Probably because it was live streaming from the moon. That doesn’t mean that is where the footage was taking place.

Responded to the other guy in the other comment.

I’m not saying we didn’t not go to the moon, I’m fairly certain when we “went to the moon” on live TV, that is not what was happening. You don’t understand the cold war, you don’t understand American culture. Ever since liberating Europe and dropping the bomb, they’ve been in constant search to be heros.

No need to call it names. Your link is relevant to disproving the landing could have been staged how?

It wouldn’t require a lot more resources, it would be about the same, which is probably what happened.

You can go to the moon, have the signals relay and have it still be a broadcast from Earth.

They had the entire moon landing in a studio stage anyway “just in case”.

Next thing you’ll tell me 9/11 was really a bunch of arabs with a couple of thousand flight hours and bad training? That the most secure military headquarters being struck by something, surrounded by CCTV cameras, yet 25 years later all we get is half a dozen still frames of the impact? Or WTC7 just fell by itself is perfectly okay?

What about your elections? Clearly Trump is a cheater. He had a massive reason to cheat. He couldn’t win. The polls were really against him this time. Then he sweeps all swing states just enough to not trigger an automatic recount? Not to mention the massive anomalies they are finding in the data? Yet surpringly democrats, are not even interested in taking a closer look, because examining their elections almost seems unpatriotic? They fear it could do damage to the reputation of a democracy that hasnt really been on since Citizen United?

How about the entire Israeli military standing down at the Gaza border on October 7th? A high profile day that Hamas would use to retaliate? How about the villain (just like Trump) about to go to jail declaring a war cabinet the day after, and have a disproportionate genocide because of that one day? Not to mention how it displayed how powerful the Zionist hold on media and US and EU politics are.

I’m not dragging these other topics in as whataboutisms. I’m saying mass psychosis lying is as much a thing now as it was back then. Think War of the Worlds by Orson Welles. People will believe anything (I mean Jesus Fucking Christ) and will be unshaken in that belief for centuries if it makes them more comfortable doing so than reconsidering the facts.

As I said. I won’t convince you otherwise. I just know that with highly publicised events, specifically by the Yanks, you can bet your ass the outcome was guaranteed beforehand. There is no way a country full of micropenis men (just based on their car preference, no actual proof sorry) will allow for the possibility of a public humiliating failure.

I don’t think you know much about Russian culture or history.

They have long hard winters and they plan years ahead.

Also, your president is a Russian asset now, and they have successfully blackmailed to many members of both parties possibly even Supreme Court justices.

Just to get a little bit of a sense of what the USSR was around the time of the moon landing this is a pretty good start. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonid_Brezhnev

Anyway, my experience here on Lemmy is that very few people are capable of looking into so-called conspiracies with a fresh pair of eyes. If the actual version of the events wasn’t reported on BBC and CNN at the time of happening some people will never accept another version of history.

Some key insights from the article:

Basically, what they did was to look at how much batteries would be needed in a given area to provide constant power supply at least 97% of the time, and the calculate the costs of that solar+battery setup compared to coal and nuclear.

 
 

From the press release. Just doing my part to get Lemmy to help get this some traction.

The ETA has delivered an independent analysis report identifying patterns consistent with vote manipulation

— tampering with cast votes in a manner that adds, removes, or switches votes — in the 2024 Pennsylvania

election results, including:

“Drop-Off Vote” Irregularities: Drop-off votes are the difference between votes for the Presidential race

and the next down-ballot race (for Pennsylvania in 2024, the Senate race). While the drop-off rate for

Mail-In ballots is as expected relative to historic trends (1.48% vs 1.96%), the drop-off rate for

Election Day results is far greater between the Democratic versus Republican candidates (0.87% vs.

4.51%, respectively).

One Candidate Benefiting From Unusually High Turnout: The Republican presidential candidate

received disproportionately more votes in precincts with high turnout, while a similar uptick in Trump

votes is not noted in lower-turnout precincts. As one candidate benefitting from unusually high turnout

has been credibly associated with election fraud in other countries, this may be cause to scrutinize

whether that turnout may have been artificially inflated, such as through ballot-stuffing.

Disproportionate Vote Share Over Sharp Vote Threshold: By measuring the percentage of the vote

received by each Presidential candidate relative to the number of votes cast at a given precinct, the

ETA has identified a sharp increase in Trump’s vote share in precincts where more votes were cast and

counted. This disproportionate increase appears in precincts that exceed a specific threshold of ballots

cast (for example, a little over 200 ballots in Philadelphia County).

 

There was talk of this Mayday sit in at the DC Mall, but for people outside the states it seems like everyone capitulated. I understand corporate media would not want to report on it, but is there anything happening on the ground where you live?

 

Now that I’ve written that, he might actually get away with it. It would be a refreshing level of government transparency.

This may not be exactly "wholesome" but it is rad as fuck.

We’ve done it, we got rid of another soulless right wing politician!

Peter Dutton first made his party lose this election and now also lost his own seat much like Pierre Pullover

We’ve still got a government that green-lit new coal power plants in it’s last term, screwed over the Aboriginal community with a poorly run referendum, and still doesn’t give a shit about climate change, but baby steps hey.
