Bus Hub is designed and inspired from ecological cycle in the nature. It consists of solar panels (type V3 spincell), rainwater harvesting and  water purification system,This prototype aims to become a facility that generates green energy with zero Carbon emission. Spincell (V3) solar panels, which can generate ten times more electric energy than usual flatten solar panels, are installed on the green roof surface which is covered by sedemic plants. In order to prevent the heat loss of solar panels, Spincell combines cone-shaped assemblies with a rotating system on magnets. The outer cone coated with special lenses condenses sunlight into the inner cone coated with photovoltaic cells. After the cells captured solar energy, the device starts to rotate before the thermal energy transfer takes place and thus the cooling process is carried out quickly. In addition, the sedemic plant bed under the solar panels , is settled for cooling of solarcells and also prevents the heat loss of the panels, in other word it supplies the maximum energy by the water vapor it creates in the air. The rain water on the surface of the sedemic plant bed is filtered from the soil and collected in the water tank in the lower layer and purified by nanofilter and converted into drinking water. Passenger information board at the station (40 w), lighting element (50w) and the telephone charger (100 w) are supplied from the electricity generated by the Spincells. The main objective of the project, which can turn into a large energy facility, especially if it is applied to a big public bus stops, like Zentral Omnibusstation Berlin, the maximum efficiency from the sun can be obtained with a way which is completely harmless to the environment and a powerful energy source, and directly or indirectly to the air conditioning system in urban areas.
