German architect André Broessel, of Rawlemon, has looked into his crystal ball and seen the future of renewable energy. In this case it’s a spherical sun-tracking solar energy-generating globe — essentially a giant glass marble on a robotic steel frame. But this marble is no toy. It concentrates both sunlight and moonlight up to 10,000 times — making its solar harvesting capabilities 35 percent more efficient than conventional dual-axis photovoltaic designs.

Dear Saad,
See if any of those are good for you.

According to the designer the transparent sphere is able collect and concentrate diffuse where traditional devices cannot and as well as providing an efficiency boost, they can be used in far more locations than their flat, fixed counterparts.

Sun stays nearly spherical, even when it freaks out
Understanding the structure of Earth's closest star could help to predict solar activity.

Dear respected Saad Motahhir,
Spherical solar power generator which could be potentially more efficient than a standard flat surface solar panel. This spherical sun power generator combines spherical geometry principles with a dual axis sun tracking system.
