Solar Skin: Inflatable good-looking solar panels to speed up solar deployments
Posted on Aug 31, 09 10:52 AM PDT
It looks like sci-fi because it is... to some extent. Solar Skin is a concept from Studio Formwork. The idea is that these inflatable eye-shaped solar panels are light and rugged enough to be assembled in any kind of structure without requiring heavy construction work. The final assembly could be permanent or temporary (easy electricity at Burning Man?). We suspect that realities like wind, rain or building owners (!) would make the approach harder than it seems, but the design is so great that we could not pass on posting it.
