Solpix

Solpix is a modular lighting system for Geodesic Temple.

Each Solpix is a wireless stand-alone light, an individual pixel.
Solpixes communicate with each other wirelessly to create a unified presentation.
The purpose of Solpix is to eliminate the power and data cables needed to light Geodesic Temple replacing them with solar power and wireless communication.

Black: solar panel
Yellow: LED
Red: internal components (batteries, charge controller, electronics, etc.)
Grey: metal or other strong material

Dimensions: Since Solpix is designed to be installed on a 2x4 stud (actual dimensions 1.5 in. x 3.5 in.), at least one of its dimensions should be < 3.5 in. (i.e. 3 in.). The thickness of Solpix will be determined by the need for space of internal components.
Installation: Solpix could be secured to a 2x4 wooden stud with zip ties (or similar) running on both sides of its base or with velcro under its base. The modular design of Solpix allows for flexible Geodesic Temple light layout. There could be one or several Solpixes on one or both sides of each 2x4.

Note: The multiple 2x4 orientations of Geodesic Temple will inevitably result in unequal sun exposure. One way to reduce this inequality is to have solar panels face different directions on each Solpix.
