Got your promo e-mail. 1st one I've seen.
You covered the big pros in this vid, but you didn't say anything about how you are solving the degradation issue. Progress is being made on this front, quickly, but would like to hear your take on it.

Just curious if any thought has been given to using light collectors, and routing that light through fiber optics to a solar cell that's not exposed to the elements, so that the cell lasts longer?
