Lily Pad Solar Panels




















Fill the desert with solar panels? Install them on roof tops? No.

ZM Architecture has designed some large lily-shaped solar panels for installation in the River Clyde. "After winning the International Design Awards Land and Sea Competition, the concept has been passed on to the Glasgow city council in hopes of a trial going forward in the near future. Essentially, energy gathered by the discs would be transformed and exported to the national grid, and integrated motors could rotate the pads in order to follow the sun for maximum output."
