German architect Andre Broessel believes he has a solution that can "squeeze more juice out of the sun," even during night hours and in low-light regions. His company Rawlemon has created a spherical sun power generator prototype called beta.ray. Its technology will combine principles of spherical geometry with a dual axis tracking system, allowing twice the performance of a conventional solar panel on a much smaller surface. The futuristic design is completely revolving and is suitable for inclined surfaces, building walls and any place with access to the sky. It can even be used as an electric car charging station.

"The beta.ray comes with a hybrid manifold to convert daily electricity and thermal energy at the same time.While reducing the silicon cell area to 25% with the equivalent energy output using our concentrator concentrating lens point of the ultra transmission ball, operates at levels of efficiency of almost 57% in hybrid mode. At night, the Ball Lens can be transformed into a high-power lamp to illuminate its location, simply using a few LED's. The station is designed for off-grid conditions as well as to supplement the consumption of electricity buildings and thermal circuits such as hot water. "
