\nWe just stumbled across a pavilion, that not only looks like an art sculpture taken straight from a modern art museum, but also generates some renewable energy too! The Sun Pavilion as it\u2019s known, reminded us of Medusa\u2019s hairdo. The many small, prefabricated, square, curved, steel tube components you see here are joined together to form thirteen large interwoven curved elements with each having a side covered with flexible solar cells. The ends of the elements are shaped like funnels while the solar cells generate electricity, monitoring random light distribution in the pavilion. Extra electricity can be sent back to the grid to power up homes in the pavilion\u2019s vicinity.<\/p>\n
\nSpeakers mounted inside the funnel shapes make the random electric sounds audible to visitors. This one will sure remind people visiting it of the uses of solar energy and the need for renewable energy generation.
