CASE STUDY- ‘SOLAR FORESTS’
ARCHITECT – NEVILLE MARS
CONCEPT- CREATING A SHADING DEVICE FOR THE FUTURE WHERE THESE SOLAR LEAVES NOT ONLY PROVIDE SHADING BUT ROTATE WITH THE SUN TO ENSURE MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY, AND ALSO RECHARGES ELECTRICAL CARS.
MATERIAL/TECHNOLOGY: USE OF PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS (WHERE SUNLIGHT IS CONVERTED INTO ELECTRICITY).
SUSTAINABILITY FACTORS: USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY TO MAKE ELECTRICITY ( i.e. THE USE OF SOLAR RADIATION CONVERTED INTO ELECTRICITY) .
