This is Tech

A Scottish architecture firm’s award winning ‘lilly pad’ solar panel design is under consideration for use in the city of Glasgow. The city hopes to not only provide clean energy for the city’s grid, but to do so in an aesthetically pleasing way.

The firm said the design of the lilypads was “inspired by nature” and they could be tethered to the river bed.

Integrated motors would then rotate the discs to follow the sun for maximum output.
