Solar Supertrees Sported Singapore

well there are Solar Roadways being worked out

 

some wicked creative domesticated primates in Singapore are now making solar-powered supertrees

 

"The colossal solar-powered supertrees are found in the Bay South garden, which opens to the public on June 29. It is part of a 250-acre landscaping project -- Gardens by the Bay -- that is an initiative from Singapore's National Parks Board that will see the cultivation of flora and fauna from foreign lands.

The man-made mechanical forest consists of 18 supertrees that act as vertical gardens, generating solar power, acting as air venting ducts for nearby conservatories, and collecting rainwater. To generate electricity, 11 of the supertrees are fitted with solar photovoltaic systems that convert sunlight into energy, which provides lighting and aids water technology within the conservatories below." -- from the CNN article I linked to above

 

and they are more pretty than the solar roads
