Building a Solar Electric Houseboat

[truesearch]

In regards to solar-energy what do you think if the claims by Ronald Ace and his "solar trap" (link: http://www.ryot.org/inventor-ronald-ace-says-his-solar-traps-will-solve-the-worlds-energy-problems/159473 )? Any ideas what he's doing?


For a solar-powered houseboat it would be great to use high-efficiency panels.

Interesting claim but with no details and even a working device ever built!... what is there to say .  One thing to note is, this concept seems to be a heat device which means you would also need a steam turbine or something to convert the heat to electricity.

I'll stay with solar panels even if they are only 16% efficient as they directly output electricity and we know they can work right now and for many years to come. Besides, the price is now down to $1. a watt.

Hi everyone,
