Sustainable energy inspires art and goodwill
Solar Solidarity, a Campaign Associate of the Sustainable Energy Europe Campaign since 2008, continues to highlight the link between sustainable energy, art and good causes. Solar Solidarity´s latest exhibition was held in Brussels on 22 June, consisting of an inauguration of a permanent display of dancing solar flowers at Belgium´s well-known paediatric hospital "Hôpital Universitaire des Enfants Reine Fabiola" (HUDERF). The solar flowers, an original creation by the artist Alexandre Dang, are produced and sold by Solar Solidarity. The dancing flower is a moving, decorative gadget that is powered by a small solar PV cell. When displayed in big groups, dancing solar flowers show - on a small but illustrative scale - the enormous potential that solar energy has in our society. Solar Solidarity regularly exhibits solar flower "fields" in order to raise awareness of the potential of solar energy and to obtain funds for projects on solar electrification in developing countries.
