An integrated approach to re-designing forms and functions by prioritizing material selection, manufacturing processes, types of stakeholders and supply chains for renewable energy components. The aim of the project is to convert renewable energy systems into truly sustainable energy systems by re-looking at the embodied energy of the entire system and such that it’s not just the solar panel that is “green”. The project discovers the feasibility of using alternative eco-friendly materials for product design and development in balance of systems* for renewable energy systems. This shall be done by using a specific example of a renewable energy system and dwelling into its components such as light fixtures, model mounting structures, battery boxes, street light poles, packaging of the systems
