Coolearth’s inflated mirror concentrators are made of metalized plastic, so are much cheaper and lighter than conventional mirrors. Because they are so light they can be mounted on cables stretched between poles so the land underneath can still be used, minimizing impact on the local environment or business.
What has inflatable lightweight mirrors and captures the same amount of energy from the sun, as traditional flat panel PV systems, while using 500 times less solar cell material? Cool Earth's cool Solar Balloons do and they're about to expand.
Since these Solar Balloons require less material to capture energy they are lightweight as well as cost efficient. Each balloons is 2 meter wide and is stable enough to withstand 125 mile an hour winds. In addition since the bubbles are lightweight they can easily be suspended on support cables above ground and are kept perpendicular to the sun's light.
