Diode
Arrays will be hundreds (of watts/sq. in.) times cheaper than other energy sources
after some production refinement. Diode arrays will probably proliferate
in individual appliances.
For
example, computers will not need power sockets or cords. Designers
can restructure the architecture of circuit power delivery to where
many micro power supplies feed many sections of the system. The
internal power will be reliable and with little crosstalk. Diode
Array powered computers will not overheat or need bulky batteries.
Some
other examples, lighting panels will be installed wherever needed
(fitted) bringing their own control wires. Heavy power using appliances
will be in small networks. In tropical climates all the cooling
for comfort will lead to surplus electricity which must be used.
This surplus can be dumped outside or sent away.
Applications
will be posted by Spring 2010.
