The Betaray is designed to concentrate diffuse light and generate a powerful beam of solar energy. The Betaray can harness solar energy from the sun, the moon, or even the gray sky of a cloudy day, whereas conventional PV collectors need 4 times more incoming light before they. . In 2012, Inhabitat featured an invention that promised to turn the world of solar power generation upside down. Rawlemon's spherical solar energy-generating globe looked a lot like a giant glass marble on a robotic steel frame, but there was nothing raw about what it achieved: the sun-tracking. . The betaray crystal sphere is a weatherproof glass ball which concentrates sunlight and moonlight up to 10,000-times and can harvest up to 70% more solar energy than conventional solar panels. This generator will combine spherical geometry principles with a dual axis sun tracking system.
