First save the forests, then fill them with Solar Leaves — Each one is enough to power 12 homes for a year and produces 158,000 gallons of water

Solar Leaves may become the latest and most efficient way to power our homes.

As the global energy industry searches furiously for the next “big thing” in energy production, some have opted to combine what works at the moment to deliver a more circular method of providing us with the power and water that we need for everyday life.

How would you feel about a forest of Solar Leaves near your city?

How the world has left conventional energy production behind

The international community has reaffirmed its commitment to leaving the old energy production methods behind us.

The innovation that has encompassed the global energy industry has been a sight to behold. While oil and gas still dominate the market, the reality is that, as in life, the energy sector is evolving and heading down the path towards a more environmentally friendly energy-generating era.

Recent developments in renewable energy have come as a shock to those with a proclivity for the older ways of powering our lives.

But the undeniable truth is that our world desperately needs to decarbonize this essential sector to give the planet a chance at recovering from years of destruction.

Clean energy: An exemplar of growth or merely a distraction?

As the need to develop new alternative power sources becomes clear, clean energy offers us as a society the chance to reshape the world.

Delivering the power needed to advance us as a species has come at the cost of the planet and the creatures that live here. Some regions of the nation hold vast troves of potential in hidden energy “reservoirs.”

Recent innovations in solar power generation have also created more questions than answers as the impact of green power becomes clear.

However, a recent astonishing creation has made deciding which energy production method to go for that little bit easier. As we know, necessity breeds innovation, and the energy industry is nothing if not adaptable.

Debunking myths around green energy projects has led the world into a corner of knowledge of self.

And the realization that we need not necessarily go for one particular energy production method is now becoming clear as the day. How will an innovative project that provides not only the energy we need to power our homes, but also the water needed for life, affect the rest of the green energy market?

An innovative and creative energy solution may be the answer we have been searching for

As the millions of families in this great nation face increasing electric bills every month, a new design has been conceptualized by Iman Sheikhansari of Iran.

The Solar Leaf proposal aims to deliver on our energy and water needs by integrating solar energy generation with water collection to deliver a new, aesthetically pleasing, sustainable system that can power 12 homes a year from a single design.

The average household in the nation consumes 10,500–10,800 kWh of electricity per year, not to mention needing 120,000 gallons of water to sustain our lives.

The Solar Leaf concept can meet those needs through the astonishing delivery of 120,000 kWh/year from its solar panels. It can also meet our water needs by collecting upwards of 158,000 gallons of water throughout the entire year.

While the concept is still in the planning phase and no actual Solar Leafs have been built, it has the support of the Land Art Generator Initiative.

How would the concept affect both the solar and water sectors if it indeed makes it past the initial conceptualization into a reality? The only answer is to wait and see as the idea heads through the planning phase towards the construction phase.
