Tomi Rantasaari
Generative, Algorithmic, Parametric and AI-Assisted Design Leaf Roof Solar Panel Collection by Tomi Rantasaari Leaf Roof is a carport with a solar panel roof shaped like a leaf. The structure measures 5 by 7 by 3 metres and is made of carbon fibre reinforced polymers and transparent photovoltaic glass. Bifacial solar panels collect sunlight on both sides and can generate up to 5 kilowatt peak. The electricity charges electric vehicles parked below and supports household power. A connected application allows monitoring of energy production and use in real time. The leaf shape refers to the way leaves gather sunlight in nature.
