The Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana, CA has a huge cube (a very 
distinctive part of the building's architecture) with one face covered in 
solar panels that generate a portion of the building's power supply.  I 
was there recently (simply as a visitor) and thought it was a pretty neat 
exhibit.  Perhaps there is someone on the list from that institution who 
could tell you more about it...

Hello,

I'm looking for information on presently employed solar power exhibits. 
Specifically, I'm interested in how they are received by your visitors, 
and if they are an agent of change.
I'm trying to get the ammunition I need to write a proposal for funding a 
very dynamic solar exhibit at my facility: The Planetarium projector 
powered by the sun!
