WaverleySolar Station

This proposal for CETA Ltd, was a bold attempt to take Edinburgh onto the world stage in ecological technologies. The proposal re-configured the roof of Waverley Station to become the largest photovoltaic installation in the world covering 20,000 m2.

Electricity generated could be used to provide sustainable transport in the City. The panels are fixed to a novel reciprocal frame structure which interpenetrates dynamically with the station concourse.

This project was carried out in collaboration with artist Barbara Beyer

 

The proposals were Short Listed in the Pan European PV Design Competition judged at the16th annual European PV Solar Energy Conference held in May 2000.
