Floating Solar Lily Pads on Clyde River Could Collect Energy
UK (TGW) – Large lily shaped solar panels floating on the River Clyde could soon be used to collect solar energy.
The concept, from ZM Architecture, has been sent to city council with the hope of approval for a trial project.
The firm said the design of the lilypads was "inspired by nature" and they could be tethered to the river bed. Integrated motors would then rotate the discs to follow the sun for maximum efficiency.

Hey! Thanks for the great info about the lily solar panels. They look really cool! I was browsing through a bunch of green websites and blogs and I came across yours and found it very interesting. There are a bunch of others I like too, like the daily green, ecorazzi and earthlab.com. I especially like EarthLab.com’s carbon calculator (http://www.earthlab.com/signupprofile/). I find it really easy to use (it doesn’t make me feel guilty after I take it). Are there any others you would recommend? Can you drop me a link to your favorites (let me know if they are the same as mine).
I definitely will link to you - as soon as your provide me with a link!
