1. A solar electrical generator comprising:
an outer wall arranged to partially surround a cavity, the outer wall extending around the cavity to define at least one gap such that light can enter the cavity either through a top of the cavity and through the at least one gap,
wherein an inner face of the outer wall and an outer face of the outer wall are provided with solar cells; and
a hub radially spaced from the outer wall and elevationally within the cavity with an upper face provided with solar cells within the cavity to receive light which has entered the cavity through the top of the cavity and through the at least one gap.
