Solar Energy Forum I have no doubt that we will be successful in harnessing the sun's energy.... If sunbeams were weapons of war, we would have had solar energy centuries ago. ~Sir George Porter

Default Solar Wall, Waterfall

A Welsh technology center completed in January integrates UniRac's SolarMountý Mounting System into an 11,000-square-foot "Solar Wall," the largest installation of its kind in Europe. It is the latest example of large-scale PV building integration using products designed and manufactured by UniRac, of Albuquerque, New Mexico. At peak hours, the Solar Wall generates 85 kilowatts of electricity from 2,400 Shell Solar CIS thin film modules. The array curves from the roofline to the ground, forming the southern faýade of the building. It also channels rainwater into an ornamental pool, for use by the center's building and grounds.
