Here’s a sweat little job offering from General Electric in New York that could have you well on your way to a great new career.  Check out this job offer and skip the diet pill reviews in the local paper.

Israeli researchers working in the Negev Desert have created a wallet friendly solar power system. The researchers system limits the quantity and size of photovoltaic panels by utilizing a solar dish. The solar dish is not much different than the satellite dishes we are all familiar with.

In this system, the suns rays are focused on a concentrated array of photovoltaic panels from a relatively small glass dish. The ability to focus a more concentrated light source onto the panels produces a much greater energy yield while benefiting the consumer by offering higher energy output while minimizing the materials cost.
