It is solar energy overload at Trend Hunter this week. Following yesterday’s peel & stick solar panels, we bring you the venomous, cobra-inspired Solar Shades Canopies. Designed by Buro Nort , the idea was to harvest solar energy while providing cooling shade for kids at schools. This design hits two birds with one stone!
Utilizing solar cells on top of the canopies, large handles on the base allow the canopy to be rotated to get the most efficient orientation from the sun throughout the day. LED displays show the amount of energy generated and alert you if the canopies need to be turned around.

Things are looking much greener at the solar energy front these days. After recently reporting on inflatable solar panels, we bring you another efficient and cost effective solar power innovation that will make opting for a solar roof a viable and more convenient option. The key innovation in the L… [More]
As a government funded initiative, the VEIL solar-shade is a future possibility for the integration of solar-energy harvesting technologies into a form that is pragmatic (providing shade & energy), evocative and educational. Current Australian school curriculums utilize information around consumption and energy as an educational device, and we have designed this interactive concept to explore the visual connection between energy collection and consumption.
