Anyway, Toronto based artist, Sarah Hall, has created a series of incredible stained glass panels which produce solar energy. Installed at the Cathedral of the Holy Family in Saskatoon, Canada, these works of art are expected to produce roughly 2,500 kilowatt hours each year which is approximately one-third of the energy used by the typical home in Saskatoon.
