What means ducking like a duck?
Answer: Going underwater whenever you feel in danger. So does the LSA, the “Liquid Solar Array” that distinguishes itself as a very innovative solar power plant. And truly disrupts the way we usually see solar power plant.
Not only because it’s a sun beam collector. Like the previous model, the LSA consists of a thin low-mass plastic membrane situated and a photovoltaic cell. And the slightly curved membrane will concentrate sunbeams to increase the electrical output, and lowers the production cost.
But you will never spot LSA in a sunny desert. Instead, go check on a lake, because it floats on water, because on water ― you know the result, you, sun tanners ― sunbeams are slightly more powerful than on land.
But winds could blow faster than elsewhere, and eventually can erode the output by changing the orientation of the membrane. So whenever the wind gets too high, it will blow in the LSA as a wind sail, causing the device to duck under the water.
The LSA has been intelligently designed by Sunengy Ltd, which claims that its device drops the production cost of a kWh to the fossil fuel level.
