Spain - Barcelona - Solar Array - sq
I rather liked this sculptural Solar Array (by Torres & Lapena, Architects) on the waterfront at the Port Forum, Barcelona. It forms part of the largest in Europe and when I get a few minutes it'd be interested to see just how many typical houses this powers.
"The 10,500 m² solar array on Forum Esplanade has reduced Barcelona's carbon emissions by 440 tonnes a year. The solar array on Forum Esplanade is the city's sustainable landmark, creating a distinctive cityscape along the beach promenade.
Barcelona's solar energy regulations have become a model for other municipalities that have adopted the initiative – in some places with even higher ambitions. More than 20 Spanish local authorities have followed Barcelona's good example."
