It might not be a cost effective / practical project, but it does make the statement. Does anyone know what is the maintenance like? Is there any energy storage media during day time? Is electricity being fed back to the grid during the peak demand hours? or Is it being fed back directly to the grid? What type of energy storage is it? What is the efficiency and maintenance requirement? No matter how we look at it, it is a very innovative project.

Your questions about it's true efficiency seem just as much "based on theoretical future assumptions", they've probably put all this on balance before someone paid for it, and if not we should just be glad they're spending their money on things like this instead of big falic buildings. well, it’s only through big investments in the alternative energy market that it will become more and more efficient, even if this isn’t the most perfect sustainable building they are at least trying, and from tries you can learn.

I have some projects in my hand in which i might need some clue. May I please know which company implemented this job? I have some projects in my hand in which i might need some clue.

Where are they storing it? Does a stadium need this much power collection? Are they really providing power to 80% of the surrounding houses? If so, how is the investment capitalized, and how do the people pay for the power they receive? Just practical questions; I live on a boat 3 months out of the year and depend largely on solar to power my lifestyle. For all you greenies, I suggest you try living on a boat. Limited power, limited hot water, and limited fresh water. It's not the utopia you predict, but some find it to be fun. Greg OK, They’re capturing a jigawatt of power. Where are they storing it?

It won't be long before there is cost parity with conventional fuels. Then it will explode. Awesome stadium! I think solar energy is going to go mainstream soon.
