Today, many things are computerized. Even humans have become to take on a machine-like perspective--robots are now common merchandise, especially as toys/amusement.
Something else we do to entertain ourselves is grow plants/vegetation. All plants need sunlight, right? But in a real plant, the sunlight is used to process photosynthesis and make food for the plant. What if... the plant were made of solar panels?!
If we could design a solar-panel plant that responded to sunlight, then plant enthusiasts could have a plant, and generate small amounts of energy as well!
The solar-panel plant (if it was all metal) could be based on a stem with multiple metals, so the plant could automatically swivel itself in the direction of the sunlight and the heat from the sunlight.
Another option (which would be much harder and take a lot more time and money) would be to design a plant that has some sort of clear solar cell integrated into it genetically and hook it up to a machine to produce energy. The plant would move into the direction of the sunlight, because that's a natural process of plant life, and this way the solar cells would receive maximum exposure.
In the end, the solar cell plant would not only provide amusement to plant and robot lovers, but it would also provide energy.
