Sundolier sunlight transport system

Solar technology is not that advanced just yet to be able to power everything, considering the percentage of efficiency of the solar cells are still in their teens. Well, the Sundolier sunlight transport system could be the future if the efficiency level increases, since it is touted to provide enough light to illuminate a 1,000 to 2,500 sq. ft. area without any other sources apart from the power of the sun. This is made possible thanks to an active two-axis tracking mount with a couple of reflectors, making the entire setup look like one giant banana peel. All concentrated light is then reflected down a two foot tube, where it will be distributed via a “sun chandelier”. Sounds pretty nifty, no? After all, natural lighting is always better than artificial ones, and if you get to save some more money while you are at it, why not?
