Every heard of the fibonacci sequence? A 13 year old named Aidan Dwyer has, and he figured out that it can be used to harness solar energy much more efficiently than the standard uniform array. This sequence is reflected in nature all the time... just take a look at how tree's branch. By offsetting photovoltaic panels at specific angles and distances using the fibonacci sequence, this setup can produce 20-50 percent more solar power! That's pretty genius, but his sketching is pretty mediocre.
