A sphere tracking and concentrating sun rays. I thought it was very interesting but at €6,000.00 the unit I think that the same power can be achieve with traditional solar panels for much less. Anyway look promising.

• Thermal Data: 275W (350W/m2)
• Combined Efficiency: 57% (Hybrid)
• Capacity Per Day: 1.1 kWH max.
• Battery Capacity: 0.5 kWh
• AC/DC Management: 120V / 220V - Client specific option
• Connections: Collector Header/Return Lines, 200V/16A Din-Socket
• Dual Axis Tracking: Low Inertia DC microdrive
• Control Unit: Tracking/ Sun/Moon, positioning LED beam
• Light Energy: 200lm - up to 500m Spot with LED's
• Weight: 700Kg (water: 524 liters)
• Dimensions: 2.15 x 1.30 x 1.80 meter
• Wind resistance: Up to 120 m/s
Edit :
There was an Indiegogo campaign to fund the project: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/rawlemon-solar-devices#/
They failed to produce the device. There's some news on their site (http://www.rawlemon.com/blogs/news) but the whole look like as a scam.
