Hi All,

Just adding my bit to the discussion.

Energy can not be created. Is my first point.
Secondly, on average the sunlight on Australian soil dissipates about 1.47 Kwatthour/ sqM.

To accumulate 50KW in an hour the collector needs to be some 30sqmetres in area. (near 100% efficiency)
Perhaps docking into refuelling stations is a way to go. Certainly not car mounted refueling. There is simply not the required energy available short term on a small area. from sunlight. (Otherwise we all would have fried).

Cheers Marty
