Default Harnessing the sun

I remember reading a thread about using the sun on here and came across this article which could prove interesting for those with limitless funds.

Looks like a solar tube on steroids, great product till the sun goes down.

The day will come when a single 36v solar panel and battery storage will provide enough power to drive a medium sized reef , led lighting, low wattage dynamic flow, and all the filtration devices.
