The Sanyo Solar ArkIt doesn't go in water, but this solar energy collecting building (yes, you can go inside of this thing) consists of over 5,000 solar panels and provides over 500,000 kWh of energy per year. The Solar Ark is considered one of the best examples of building integrated photovoltaic design to date.
SolarReserve A big limitation to solar power is its inability to generate electricity at night or during cloudy days. SolarReserve attempts to address this drawback by capturing solar energy in molten salt. I'm no scientist, so I suggest you read how this can be done here. But this new solar program will attempt produce up to 500 megawatts of peak power which is comparable to what a coal power plant can produce only with no greenhouse gas emissions. Yummy.
