Solar energy has gained prominence as a green method for powering homes. Yet, understanding what devices can run on solar panels and for how long remains abstract. The "Solar Bites" group project seeks to make this tangible by illustrating the energy consumption of everyday electronics. Visitors illuminate a solar panel with their phone's flashlight, triggering a charging process. This demonstrates real-time charging durations and solar energy production. Ultimately, "Solar Bites" aims to promote wider adoption of solar panels, fostering a greener planet for future generations.
Showed in the CREATING ATMOSPHERES exhibition in Graz, Austria.
