Many of the ancient pyramids of Egypt used to be plated in gold and polished white limestone to reflect and amplify the rays of the sun. Now a modern pyramid is being built in India covered in glittering solar panels that similarly pays tribute to the sun. The Singapore-based MSC Power Corp has designed its solar pyramid as a next-gen electricity plant that generates up to 36 megawatts – enough to power towns in rural India that currently have no access to the grid. It also has a desalination component that removes salt from seawater to make it potable.
