Abstract:
A method including installing solar pods at varying heights on a tower, where a size of each of the solar pods is inversely related its installation height on the tower, each of the solar pods including a transparent ovoid enclosure symmetrical about an axis, and a reflector and a solar cell both contained within the transparent ovoid enclosure, the solar cell positioned at a common focal point of the reflector such that substantially all light reflected by the reflector is directed at the solar cell.
