Israeli Solar company MST has connected its first system to the national power grid to produce 50 KW of electricity making it the first Israeli firm in the field. MST was founded in 2002 by Dov Raviv, commonly known as the father of the Arrow antiballistic missile. Its concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) system uses mirrors that move with the sun to concentrate its rays on solar panels, thus boosting their efficiency and MST says they have reached 24.5% overall efficiency during almost a year of testing, which is about 10-12% more than standard CPV panels. The idea behind CPV is to use less land than PV and achieve higher efficiency. MST also says that its system is on trackers that are raised above the ground and so the land below can be used for agricultural production
