Read the following passage.
I believe that solar powered buildings are the future of architecture. A good example of this is the Mirebalais Hospital, which was built in Haiti in 2013. The hospital has 1800 solar panels that produce 140 megawatt-hours of electricity on a sunny day. That is more electricity than the hospital uses.

I would love to visit this hospital one day.
