The PV panel set out is used to form a seven-segment display within a 7.5 meter x 9 meter module (67.5 m2 of total PV surface per \u201ccharacter\u201d). Sun tracking will maximize solar harvesting (22% increase on energy output compared to fixed panels), and the &#8220;characters&#8221; have the potential for many configurations and dynamic movements.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/HelioTweet4.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"HelioTweet\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Laminated into each of the display-panel glazed segments is a switching film\u2014consisting of Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystals (PDLCs), which is used to control the opacity of each of the segments.
