A retired electronic technician, now inventor. I owned & ran my own business for 23 years. I started inventing solar concentrators in 1977. I have 2 patents on solar concentrators & 1 pending. I also have a patent on a method to reduce the wind loading on the large mirrors of trough solar concentrators. My trough concentrators use flat instead of curved mirrors & will be Less expensive to produce than parabolic troughs. My newest most advanced concentrator features 360 degree concentration around the receiver tube & is especially suited to hybrid CPV/T application.
