Malls, Shopping centers, Traffic light, houses, Pastry shops; everything! And all of that is all powered by solar energy via Photovoltaic cells here is the ironic part of it' it is not just a village its a whole freaking island.

they also say that in further advancement all our electronic devices ill no longer run out of  charge as they will all be powered by solar, just like the village. That includes (I-pods, laptops, cell phones, and pants; that's if u have rechargeable pants.
