New technology added to a solar power facility in the desert is being called a "game-changer." The technology is designed to save money. Just outside of Barstow in the town of Daggett is the world's first facility to harness the power of the sun for electricity. Two decades ago the Sunray Solar facility was considered a pioneer in renewable energy. Now a Huntington Beach company is hoping to launch the next generation in solar energy.

"We're using less product to generate more solar power," said Glenn Reynolds, Gossamer Space Frames co-founder and president. More power, but on a huge scale. Gossamer Space Frames teamed up with 3M's renewable energy division to build the world's largest solar collector. "This is a game-changer because we're able to decrease costs for these types of solar power installations dramatically," said Reynolds.
