Solar Cat: The Cutest Solar Panel Ever Made
A giant 140-watt cat-shaped solar panel installed at the historic New York Hall of Science (NYSCI) in New York City. Solar Cat powers an educational exhibit, phone charging station, and she meows! Krystal created Solar Cat under the company Grouphug while a Designer-in-Residence at NYSCI.
