Project overview
Miami made a statement for the Super Bowl and for the future - showing it’s an environmental champion with beautiful solar structures around the city. There are 28 striking solar “trees” where millions of people can see them. This is especially true at Bayfront Park, a Live Nation venue which hosts performances year-round, including Ultra and many Super Bowl 54’s pre-game events.
We even made solar effective (for encouraging people to use solar themselves) at night!
Spotlight Solar exists to make solar more visible, so more people will embrace it. We are thrilled by this opportunity to bring solar to center stage for so many people.
