Can we hear it for the University of Utah? They have recently begun an initiative to cover one of their buildings with "solar ivy" - a technology developed by New York-based Sustainably Minded Interactive Technology (SMIT). Each ivy "leaf" is a small photovoltaic panel, and the electricity generated by the array will go towards decreasing the University's reliance on the grid. About 2/3 of the project has been funded already, and the remaining funds are being raised by selling sponsorship of individual leaves.
