Research abstract
Buildings consume most energy and their top demand is Lighting, yet even LEDs remain inefficient and
market-traction isnt expected until 2020. This solar cogeneration cost-efficively routes actual sunshine deep
into buildings through skinny, flexible fiber optic cables for Lighting, while simultaneously generating Electricity
at 30% efficiency.
