The beautiful future of solar power

Solar energy can be beautiful, functional, and seamlessly woven into daily life. The sun provides more energy to Earth in one hour than humanity uses in a year, yet most solar panels remain bulky and unattractive. By integrating solar cells into objects like tables, windows, and even urban farms, clean energy becomes accessible to far more people. When solar technology becomes invisible and elegant, every surface holds the potential to generate power.
