Inspirational Malmö

Just few weeks ago I was on a study tour to Malmö, to see the sustainable city districts - Augustenborg and Västra Hamnen, and places with solar cells. I would like to share some pics and facts.

Largest photovolatic plant in Sweden, in Sege Park. 1250 m2 of solar panels and with a peak power of 166 kW.














Solar parabolic disc with Stirling Engine, approx. 700 degrees hot! :) I guess our tech guys can explain how this thing works. Looks cool, at least!
It was off that day..

Other ways to use solar cells - give a shade and part of the 'decoration' on the balcony.





Cheers,
Piret
