Pupils with sunflowers seeds.
Each "solar sunflower" will generate modest amounts of electricity and also serve as a tool for students to learn about the benefits of renewable energy. Similar devices are being installed at schools in Dubrovnik, Hvar, Zadar, Kaštel Lukšić, Krk, Pula, Križevci, Zagreb, Ivanić-Grad and Vukovar. Education on renewable energy will be provided at the ten schools by the DOOR Association and the Eko Kvarner NGO.

Baltimore City has created the solar powered water wheel, a 100,000-pound trash-collecting device that harness solar power and the current. Debris is funneled into the device and then onto a conveyor belt that deposits it into a dumpster, which is emptied once full.
IVANPAH, CALIFORNIA, APRIL 05 2013: An aerial view of the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility at sunrise, with left to right Tower 1, 2 and 3, and the Primm Golf Course, bottom. Located in the Mojave Desert 40 miles southwest of Las Vegas, The Ivanpah Solar Power Facility is a solar thermal power project, currently under construction, with a planned capacity of 392 megawatts, enough to power approximately 140,000 houses. It will deploy 170,000 heliostat mirrors spread over 4,000 hectares, focusing solar energy on boilers located atop three solar power towers, generating steam to drive specially adapted steam turbines The project, developed by Bechtel, will cost $2.2 billion and be the largest solar farm in the world (photo Gilles Mingasson/Getty Images for Bechtel).

105 solar panels are installed at Littlestown Veterinary Hospital in Littlestown, PA, in mid September 2010. The Littlestown Veterinary Hospital in Littlestown, PA, received a grant from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development under the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) to have solar panels installed to help reduce their carbon footprint and to have cost effective electric power for the hospital. REAP provides grants for energy audits and renewable energy development assistance. The program also provides funds to agricultural producers and rural small business to purchase and install renewable energy systems and make energy efficiency improvements. The expected cost savings using solar power for the hospital’s electrical needs is expected to reduce the facility’s operating expenses by 50%. Courtesy photo by Julie Holland.
A part of the Wilpena solar power station. In the boxy sheds are several diesel generators that actually do most of the electrical generation. Still, the solar is a step in the right direction.

These retrofitted solar-panel canopies also provide shade for parked vehicles and don't require any more land area than already used by the parking lot. VA Medical Complex, Albuquerque, NM. 19 Jan 2013. (0270)
Installed in 2011. The entire PV system at this medical complex reportedly generates 3200 KW and can provide for up to 20% of the hospital's annual energy needs.
Water is brought to the site in 30G recycled juice drums then pumped into a 275G storage tank, seen on the right, using the shurflo transfer pump running off a solar charged battery. You can see the charge controller mounted to the wall. Most of the wiring seen goes up the wall to convenience switches.
Future plans call for some fusing, a higher rate pump, and a externally accessible spigot with PVC piping indoors.
