Oleg Lobykin’s Solaris [art installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-of-the-future) aims to deliver environmental awareness by representing the benefits of renewable energy and the significance of culture. The design is proposed for a site between Saadiyat Island and Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.

Solaris consists of a total of 1,418 [photovoltaic panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-electric-pavilion) with a capacity of 45 MW, which is enough to provide energy for the site itself and also for commercial and residential buildings in the nearby areas.
