I know its common to comment that the mimicking of tree branches is obvious but all innovations usually are obvious in hindsight. Good for him for his original solution.

realised and then you say to yourself, "Of course!"

Dwyer's solar "tree" clearly requires complex engineering and assembly, which raises the cost of any installation. Will the 20% increase in voltage compensate for that? I seriously doubt it. The real solution, I would suggest, is one that's integral with another product - building glass, for example - and does not require additional resources like vast patches of land.

Heard this a long while ago. The idea is not his. Great job of picking up the ball though.

that don't distort the light too much... at least from the direction of light coming into the building.
