With the continued concepts surrounding the solicitation of solar energy, here is one that comes from Texas, 15 30 foot-tall sunflowers with solar power petals. These petals are responsible for the energy collected which in turn are used to power the blue LEDs which illuminate the bike path they flank.

They toss about 15 kilowatts of extra energy into the grid daily. The project was originally part of a call to block the unsightly truck docks around the back of a strip mall, and is titled “Sunflowers, An Electric Garden.
