* I would assume that such a circuit must involve a lot of power transistors such as MOSFETs. Would the cost{{x|beyond money, consider the amount of rare metals, energy and labor involved in production}} be reasonable enough for this to be scaleable for green [[energy]] solutions? | * I would assume that such a circuit must involve a lot of power transistors such as MOSFETs.

** Maybe a joule thief circuit connected to each cell, which charges one shared capacitor for DC output? And there would need to be some sorta round-robin switching circuit on the cells, to avoid unnecessary power drain when output load is low. Would all of this be efficient enough tho? | |||
** Are there other designs instead, and if so, how would they compare? <sup>[discussion needed]</sup> | |||
