Solar Lights: What Was The Name Of The Building That Was Made Out Of Solar Panels? (8/19/2012)

in Solar Lights

I really need it for a project. The architecture of it is well known, and the name was in French.
The building was entirely made out of solar panels and has a hyperbola curve to it.
If someone touches it, that person could die from excessive heat.

Anyone have a clue?

“If someone touches it, that person could die from excessive heat”
there is no way that could be true. No matter how hot it is, touching it could do no more than burn your finger.

Very few solar houses are made of curved panels, as they would have to be specially made. See the reference for the only one I could find, scroll down to the bottom of the page. But that one has no solar panels, it is merely a non-functional model.

You have confused the solar furnace that was built in France and involved a large number of mirrors directing sunlight to one spot for research and testing making steam power by sunlight.
Solar panels are black in color to absorb light, not reflect it, and either convert it to electricity (and can’t get too hot) or heat water to much lower temperatures. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_furnace
