Before and ...

after? I'm hoping that some day, a solar concentrator system will take up this space. Ahh, what a beautiful sight that would be! Our team is busy spending the Ignite money on a prototype system that will help us showcase our technology to potential investors (and, of course, the prototype will also help us figure out how to build the systems more efficiently in South Africa).

For now, the MIT Facilities department has agreed to let us install the system on a parking lot in West Campus (at the end of the soccer fields). I've marked up the site and with a bit of luck, we may have a system installed on this very spot at the end of the summer. Keeping the fingers crossed!
