Sun&Shade Canopy Harnesses Solar Energy
Feb-18-17
The functional and fashionable Sun&Shade canopy directs the sun’s rays to a solar panel while shading the area below.

Created by architect and designer Carlo Ratti, the Sun&Shade features an array of mirrored discs that rotate to automatically reflect the sun’s rays to a photovoltaic panel “located a safe distance away.” The mirrors can be individually controlled, optimizing the solar energy collection while also casting interesting designs on the ground.
