29 minutes to animatedly blast one of the two claims that were “nutter bullshit”. This isn’t worth the watch. There’s maybe 2 minutes-worth of content refuting the 80% loss of energy due to reflection claim. Nothing is actually discussed about the TIPA’s attempt to improve output with higher angular offset from the sun. He also forgot part of their total efficiency improvement claim comes from greater packing density. Granted, the vertical array would get a reduced watt/m2 density per panel, but it could still have an overall improvement for daily/annual solar angles. Probably not worth it compared re-angling standard panel arrays a few times a year.
So the improvement percentage is bullshit and the leader gave a shitty response - nothing new here. That doesn’t mean the concept is entirely trash. But this could have been 5 minutes
