A new solar dish has been developed that does what solar installations do, convert sunlight into power, but with an interesting twist: clean water.
The efficiency of the typical solar installation ranges from 10 to 20 percent, with the rest waste heat. Swiss researchers associated with IBM have developed the High Concentration PhotoVoltaic Thermal system (HCPVT), which uses that waste solar heat to generate fresh water.
