Wow, that is some impressive PV tech.
And in terms of national energy strategy I hope we see more of this.
But in terms of true resilience it would be great to see this sort of tech deployed at a household or community scale. I am really keen on the idea of local energy islands where small communities could be become self sufficient in their energy/electricity needs without being reliant on the grid.
I wonder how the economics of this sort of system would work out on a smaller community scale...
I see no reason why it couldn't work perfectly well on a smaller community scale. All one would do is eliminate the grid from the process and the power would be exclusively for the community. This would work great, if only the controlling entities would permit it to happen. In many countries you cannot buy a plot of land without also buying a connection to the grid.
