The rotating cone was developed at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. It is also based on the solid biomass being heated up by contact with a hot surface. The reactor is essentially a cone upside down with its base open. The cmie is heated on the outside surface, and it rotates continually.
Additionally, the rotating cones help in spreading sunlight over the whole surface of panels which further helps in increasing output. You can also have a look at the video below by V3Solar for better understanding. These solar panels are still not in the market. So the exact cost cannot be found anywhere.
The photovoltaic cone spins with the assistance of a “small amount” of its own solar-generated power which feeds a Maglev system, intended to reduce the noise generated by the cones as well as any required maintenance.

V3Solar's Spin Cell is a little different. It's claimed to be capable of generating over 20 times more electricity than a flat panel with the same area of PV cells thanks to a combination of concentrating lenses, dynamic spin, conical shape, and advanced electronics.
Now back in his native Blighty, he serves as Managing Editor in Europe. V3Solar has developed a cone-shaped solar energy harvester that is claimed to generate over 20 times more electricity than a flat panel thanks to a combination of concentrating lenses, dynamic spin, conical shape, and advanced electronics.
Laminar Heat and Mass Transfer in Rotating Cone-and-Plate Devices
Laminar fluid flow and heat and mass transfer in a cone-and-plate device, with cone apex touching the plate/disk, were simulated. The disk-to-cone gap made 1‐5 deg. Transport equations were reduced to a system of self-similar ordinary differential equations solved numerically. Cases studied were a rotating cone and a stationary plate, and vice versa. The …

Secondary flow and turbulence in a cone-and-plate device
The flow between a shallow rotating cone and a stationary plate has been investigated using flow visualization, hot-film heat-transfer probes, and measurements of the torque required to rotate the cone against the retardation of the viscous fluid that fills the device. Theory appropriate to these experiments is also presented. An expansion of the Navier–Stokes equations is performed for ...
