It’s not cheaper than fossil fuel, but it’s cleaner and cooler - literally and figuratively. Sunengy’s Liquid Solar Array system is designed to float on the surface of the ocean. A large lens follows the sun across the sky throughout the course of the day, focusing the sun’s rays on a solar cell. The cell itself is cooled by ocean water. In the event of storms, the entire system rotates itself under water, protecting all the vital components.  The LSA system is based on floating solar collectors made mostly of plastic. Each has a very small area of silicon photovoltaic cells at the water surface with a large, thin plastic focussing lens rotating slowly above to track the sun.
