But yes, what to do with it? Personally, I'd love to see Taiwan put some teams into the J-League, one in Taipei and on in Kaohsiung. But somehow I don't think FIFA -- or China -- would be too sold on the idea. Great that you gave a notice to Kaohsiung’s stadium — it’s pretty great.

For personal homes it can be, when combined with other "green" devices (water reclamation, ect). But for stadiums I think it's something we have to do, particularly municipal stadiums given that the tax payers will be footing a power bill into the future for something that's used thrice a week tops.

I mean, why not build everything exposed to the sun out of solar panels?!

They should re-name Kaohsiung World Games Stadium to Stadio Wild Snake, because that's certainly what it looks like to me! For real though, that is quite a piece of architectural masterclass. Whoa!

Also I think that Letzigrundi n Zurich and the new rebuilt Weserstadion will have more solar panels than Basel. But not sure on that one. Still, there are a few other examples of solar power being used on roofs in Europe, of course never in the scale of Kaohsiung Just as a supplement – I’m pretty sure the Sydney Olympic Stadium (currently ANZ Stadium?) also uses rain to supply itself in water.
