Too many buildings have roofs that are at the wrong angle,
. . . or face the wrong direction for a rooftop solar system to be effective, and
. . . fixed solar panels, only operate at their highest efficiency, for a brief period of time every day.

James Cameron, director of Titanic and Avatar, is a solar power advocate,
. . . came up with was an arrangement of,
. . . 10 solar panels surrounded by, 14 other panels.
The finished structure stands 33 feet high and measures 28.5 feet across.
. . . Cameron calls it a Sun Flower.

The Sun Flower’s best feature is that it tracks the sun during the day,
. . . to maximize the amount of electricity the panels make.
The unit is capable of producing 260 kWh or electricity every day,
. . . which is more than enough to meet 100% of the energy needs,
. . . of most single family houses.
