Solar Sunflowers
by sidd finch » Wed Jul 01, 2015 10:54 am
From James Cameron of Titanic fame comes this pretty cool idea to help make solar power more aesthetic. Composed of one central panel surrounded by 14 smaller "petals," each Sun Flower is designed to provide an alternative to traditional solar panels that, while functional, strike many people as eyesores.

I have a better idea. Why not combine the solar panels with the cloaking lens technology and just make them disappear entirely?

But then how will the drone-birds of the sky not have something to perch on?
