Instagram is a photo-blogging network that makes ordinary iPhone pictures look like masterpieces. SPW‘s sister publication, Windpower Engineering and Development, discovered that wind turbines are a mightily popular subject of Instagram art. Now we’ve found that solar panels aren’t far behind.

So without further ado, here are some of the best solar Intagram photos circulating among the network’s 90 million users:

We would not recommend arranging solar panels in this way. This is an art exhibit in Milan.  (@yomexiro)
