Sounds like BS, but…

The shape makes sense, at least intuitively: more surface area, and possibly more optimised orientation throughout the day/seasons (it would be interesting to run simulations).

On the other hand, complex shapes can’t possibly be cheaper to produce at scale than simple flat panels.

So yeah, I’d call BS until proven otherwise.

This seems to be fake technology. If they were really absorbing light, the spheres would be black.
