Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods for the collection of solar energy and the use thereof to generate an algal biomass capable of producing biofuels. In one implementation, the specific irradiance (e.g., moles photons per gram per day) is controlled to optimize algal growth and the production of polar lipids, non-polar lipids, and proteins. Optionally, non-photosynthetic portions of the light spectrum are diverted for uses other than illumination of the algae and/or are shifted in wavelength to fall within the photosynthetic spectrum
