An interesting way of mounting solar panels.

fun in the wind no doubt

Obviously they are supported by the two thick wires and the tracking is done by a thinner wire that you can just about see. Could be a very cheap and easy way of making a tracker. I wonder if you need planning permission for a washing line across your garden??

Looks like a very good piece of Photoshop work, but not quite good enough. Look closely at the closest support, the shadow stops long before it meets the wires that the panels are monted on. Again, look more closely at the next support it is also the same situation.

They even have a webcam of it, does look a little wobbly I must admit.

As for the photo-shop bit, it would say it is a bump on the piste that causes the shadow to stop, look a bit further left and it carries on...

I'd have to say there is an awful lot coming up on the web if you Google it, from many various sources.
Good for them for at least trying to improve skiing's green credentials.
