Whoever came up with idea of putting solar panels on a cone was an idiot. In fact on further looking it seems the company that came out with this idea vanished years ago.... and someone has only just rediscovered their 'brilliant' idea.
Sure its true you generate more or less constant power throughout the day, but that power is about 1/3rd of what a tracking solar panel would get, and less even than a static solar panel would generate.
They then say spinning them will keep them cool. Not really that big of a deal. Solar panels are fantastic in they contain NO MOVING PARTS!. That makes them very low maintenance. If you start having to spin those with motors, you now have to have a more expensive construction involving moving parts.
Lastly they suggest putting it all inside a glass cone... a greenhouse. just the thing to do if you want to keep your solar panels cool!
