Concentrating Solar Collector and Electric Car
| Location: Sequioa 601 |
Our inexpensive solar collector uses flat mirrors that track the sun to boost the output of photovoltaic cells. We use the power to charge an electric car. The collector is built by high school students at the Latino College Preparatory Academy in East San Jose, Calif.
