When I say powerful solar panels, I mean both physically and figuratively. These installations of sun-harnessing panels are contributing to the world in many different ways regardless of their size (which varies).
The powerful solar panels are put into architecture, athletic gear, fashion accessories, and even children's toys. It's nice to see innovations that are doing all that they can to make this world a better place.
Implications - The eco-movement has transcended various niche demographics and its values can be seen in a large cross-section of society. These consumers are concerned with alternative energy forms. Companies that brand themselves as green should promote the initiatives that sponsor to foster a more meaningful connection.
