Beta.ray – A leap in the solar energy sector

Rawlemon, a company dedicated to finding new and innovative solutions to energy problems has come up with an invention the ‘beta.ray’ or the ‘Spherical Sun Power Generator’. The design is fully rotational and combines spherical geometry principles with a dual axis tracking system, allowing twice the yield of a conventional solar panel in a much smaller surface area. The beta.ray uses a water-filled ball lens that helps reduce the silicon cell area by 25 per cent and operates at efficiency levels of nearly 57 per cent in hybrid mode. It is also a multifunctional device as it turns into a high-power lamp at night by simply using a few LEDs.
