Abstract
A photovoltaic solar system for energy production, comprising an inflatable parabolic reflector- concentrator inside of possibly lighter than air balloon and a solar panel outside of the balloon. The system tracks sun while overcoming wind impact. The system can be used in fixed or vehicular installations both in land and marine environments. Also disclosed a solar farm and an efficient air cooling system for solar cells.
