Solar Sunflowers In Austin

by L.A. on Aug.18, 2009, under art

Solar Sunflowers

a retail lot was recently constructed in Austin and following guidelines established nearly a decade ago, it was determined the loading docks needed to be covered up to help mitigate the industrial feel…. so they decided to install some pieces of art… not just any pieces, mind you, but solar sunflowers composed of photovoltaic cells.  the energy collected is used to fuel the blue LED lights on the sculptures that light up at night.  excess energy is sent back to the grid to help offset the cost of the installation!
