Thinking of putting in solar panels?
Before you install them flat on your roof, consider this cutting edge solar research by 13 yr old Aidan from New York... he studied the way trees use the Fibonacci sequence to arrange their branches. Experimenting with his own models, he discovered that solar panels mounted in a ‘tree’ pattern set up collect 50% more electricity in the middle of winter than flat mounted panels.
Who knows whether this research, which won him a Young Naturalist Award,will take off, but it is great food for thought!
