  • Abstract
    Flat photovoltaic panels have come to dominate the global solar market thanks to a dramatic drop in panel prices over the past five years. A Swiss start-up, using technology that IBM Research–Zurich developed for one of its supercomputers, is challenging the status quo with a dish-shaped solar concentrator that produces both electricity and hot water.
