Solar Canvas Various solar design options have been evaluated for the PoweVIBES (GEM Tower) project (63). Simulations were conducted in order to evaluate Building Integrated Photovoltaics potential and conclusion was made that there are not enough suitable surfaces on the GEM Tower itself. Therefore Solar Canvases were designed as an external system from the tower that can be placed independently. Solar Canvases were designed, fabricated and their performance validated in the field (64).
