Raw Solar Taking Commercial Applications
The “raw solar” MIT project based on Washington state inventor Doug Wood’s designs has a revamped website and is moving forward with commercial deployment.
From their FAQ page:
“Because of the simplicity of the design, and use of widely available materials, the dish has a huge potential to address the energy problems of the rapidly developing third world. However, in order to get the business off the ground, we are focusing on large US installations in the short term.”
My last post about it describes it’s unique small scale economic breakthrough in some detail and I concluded “This project is a welcome antidote to the notion that a huge central grid is more cost efficient. Off-grid homesteaders, rejoice!”
