The Most Amazing Solar Plant On Earth Doesn’t Use A Single Solar Panel
How can you harness the sun to power thousands of homes rather than one home?
Solar panes – using a photovoltaics system – are expensive because they use highly purified silicon that costs thousands per square inch.
Bill Gross, CEO of IdeaLab, has figured out a way to manage solar farming on a large scale by using mirrors to capture sun rays. Watch him explain how he built a 20-acre solar facility in California.

Germany’s Manufacturing Jobs Fell 4.9 Percent In January
FRANKFURT (AP) — The number of people employed in the German manufacturing sector declined 4.9 percent in January compared with the same month in 2009.
The Federal Statistical Office said Monday the number of Germans employed in manufacturing fell to 4.9 million workers from about 5.15 million in January 2009.
The Wiesbaden-based Statistical Office says only the food manufacturing sector reported a 1.7 percent increase in workers.
The metals sector saw a near 9 percent decline in manufacturing workers, while the electrical equipment sector reported a near 7 percent decline. The overall machinery sector reported a near 6 percent decline in manufacturing workers.

Bill Gross: Man Of A Hundred Startups Now Hellbent On Saving The World (With A Revolutionary Solar Energy Project)
Production by Bright Red Pixels.
A lifelong entrepreneur, Bill Gross is on the verge of a breakthrough that can make solar energy as affordable as fossil fuel-generated energy. His eSolar has a full operation factory in California that produces enough energy to power some 4,000 homes.
A system of 24,000 mirrors moving slowly to capture blazing sun rays is produced efficiently with robot-made fabricated parts rather than customized components that brings down costs significantly. And, since eSolar requires intense sunlight, its power plants are built in underutilized, arid areas that are generally deserted.
Bill Gross has always tinkered with technology and innovation, improving existing ideas and developing new ones. The commercial aspect of his inventions has come naturally as others recognized their value. In 1996, Gross started IdeaLab as an umbrella company for his hundreds of projects and startups.
The failure of many companies comes from stretching its resources, taking on too many things and eventually losing focus, Gross says. IdeaLab has given him the opportunity to develop his various projects by creating dozens of startups within the company each focusing on one idea.
However, Gross’ success has come at the cost of many failed attempts – his ventures were destroyed in the dot com crash. But he lived through it, and took these million-dollars failures as very expensive classes in entrepreneurship he learned a great deal from.
We sat down with Bill Gross to find out what these crucial lessons are, and understand more about how eSolar works.
