Could photovoltaic panels become a new medium for visual artists? An initiative called "Solar Art Panel" invited international artists to paint works on solar panels in the aim of raising funds for the Little Sun Foundation.

Since its creation back in 2016 by renowned Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson, this charity provides solar energy lamps to thousands of pupils and teachers living in Rwanda.
