World Games Stadium 100% Solar Powered

The dragon-like structure you see is the ‘World Games Stadium’ in Taiwan, which is being built for the upcoming World Games.

What looks like dragon’s scales from afar are actually 8,844 solar panels which is enough to satisfy all of the stadium’s energy needs, and then some. The 14,155m2 roof has the potential to generate 1.14 gigawatt hours of electricity every year, which is actually enough to power 80% of the stadium’s surrounding neighborhood when it’s not in use.

Yay for the sun!

It was designed by Japanese architect Toyo Ito, cost around $150 million to build and can hold 55,000 spectators. Something like this makes the new Cowboy Stadium and Yankee Stadium already look outdated.
