Solar Technology
Sunlight is the largest source of energy on earth, and tremendous innovation is underway in reducing the cost of harnessing sunlight to human purposes.
R. Perez, Velux Daylight & Architecture 2008 Issue 09
Sunlight is a dilute form of energy – about one kilowatt falls on each square meter of Earth at noon – and the key metrics are cost per square meter of systems to gather light, and efficiency of converting light into useful energy (heating, cooling, or electricity).
Many design approaches have been pursued to strike an optimal balance between cost and efficiency.

Concentrating Solar Power Systems
VenEarth has interest and invests in early-stage technologies which can be brought to high volume which advance these key metrics.
