Unless you look at the system as a way to treat waste water, sequester carbon, and potentially for photovoltaic panels or wave energy or even wind energy, and if you start thinking in terms of integrating all of these different activities, you could also include in such a facility aquaculture.
We've got the solar photovoltaic system, solar hot water heater, dual-flush toilets, bamboo floors.
And we blogged live every evening from the tent via a laptop and a custom-made satellite transmitter, all of which were solar-powered: we had a flexible photovoltaic panel over the tent.

Japan and South Korea were third in the amount of grid-connected solar photovoltaic panels added in 2008; the Philippines was second for total geothermal power and third for total biomass power;Indonesia was third for total geothermal power.
Providing a "development shortcut" that leads directly to photovoltaic or nuclear electricity generators, not coal-fired power stations, high-performance materials, not steel mills, and cellular telephone networks, not expensive fixed-line systems, would clearly benefit us all.
In just seven years, from 2006 to 2013, the world’s installed capacity for wind power quadrupled, while use of photovoltaic systems grew almost 20-fold.
China can now generate 6.2 gigawatts of solar power and 68.3 gigawatts of wind power – the equivalent of 50 coal-fired power plants – and has nine of the world’s top ten solar-energy companies, which together produce 65% of the world’s photovoltaic panels.
These efforts are mirrored by Chinese initiatives in such fields as new low-energy vehicles; light-emitting diode (LED) lighting; building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV); innovative energy efficiency technologies; and various alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, bio-gas, and synthetic fuels.
Solar photovoltaic modules, which are about 80% cheaper now than they were in 2008, can be used in isolated locations.
Using the government’s generous subsidies, Germans installed 7.5 gigawatts of photovoltaic (PV) capacity last year, more than double what the government had deemed “acceptable.”
Evidence of this potential can be found in the few photovoltaic power plants that have begun operating in Africa.
Photovoltaic cells may draw energy from the sun, but they are manufactured from cadmium, selenium, and tellurium.
By contrast, solar photovoltaic and wind power – two renewable technologies gaining traction globally – require no water for their normal operations.
The cheapest system, generating two watts of power, can cost as little as $10-20 and be expanded to almost any level, depending on the size and number of photovoltaic (PV) modules and the size of the battery storage unit.
