seems like there has to be a more efficient way to gather energy from the sun that those HUGE panels.

nice! power sources of the future is here... in premature phase.
let's hope solar panels would be more smaller but with higher power output.

Mount some on a mast. Maybe they can harness some wind power too.

the wind's energy is cheaper and easier to use.

I kind of wanted to see the inside. I am guessing that the solar panels are as big as they are to collect enough power in case they have a week of rain or clouds and have to rely on what ever power they have stored for such an occasion.

I'm fed up with ecology . How did it cost to build ?
Here in europe governement allowed taxes reductions for this type of panels then stopped paying them ....and they last not enough to make profit ...

What happens when it storms? Doesn't look very functional.
