Iam a solar panel engineer for Panasonic.
While in Italy on business, I visited the Milano Salone del Mobile exhibition.
This installation was apparently designed around the concept of plant Photosynthesis.
It features bifacial solar panels suspended in the air like leaves on a tree.
It is a design that really puts both sides of the panels to use.
Just as a tree uses sunlight to create its own energy that it then uses to make its flowers bloom...
What if homes and cities also generated power from sunlight...
And stored this energy in batteries...
Empowering us and really making our lives flourish?
The installation suggested this whole new relationship we can have with energy.
It made me think about how much richer our lives would be if we could develop a system
that integrates solar panels, storage batteries, and energy efficient products.
That is the future I want to create with my colleagues at Panasonic.
