Taiwan has just completed building what is being touted as the largest solar-powered stadium in the world. Though the original name is not known yet, it is called ‘World Games Stadium’ in English. It comes with massive and gigantic solar panels which harness all the solar energy in order to generate electricity that could be used by the stadium.
It has a 14,155 square meter roof and it harnesses about 1.4 gigawatt hours of electricity every year. The coolest part of the stadium is that when the stadium is not being used, 80% of the neighborhood where the stadium is located can also be powered through the electricity generated for the stadium on days when the stadium is not in use.
This seems certainly like the most interesting concept ever. Let me change the word. This is no more a concept but is a true and working model which can be imbibed by other nations and governments when they build stadiums meant for thousands of people. It would not only save energy, but also make sure the world is cleaner and greener place.

This is incredible. We should be adding solar panels and wind mills to all buildings like this. Everyone benefits from it.
