2. Solar Intersections, Davis, Calif.
Soaring toward the sun, Solar Intersections is a commissioned work by renowned artist and educator Robert Behrens. The installation built in 1989 includes sixteen 70-foot-high steel poles coated with a special adhesive paint on which solar panels are placed. Framed by crate myrtle trees and perennial flowers planted in a checkerboard pattern, the artist created an entire setting to reflect the place in which his work is displayed.

This is beautiful art, but it is shame that it is just art! The whole array looks almost completely shaded and judging by the tall trees and building in the background it will see shade most of the day. It would be even more beautiful if it were functional.
