4. Solar power is bringing electricity, light and much more to places that otherwise may not have access to the grid. Solar-powered lanterns are lighting up rural parts of India, but I think the coolest invention I’ve seen is a solar-powered shipping container that can host medical facilities in Haiti and other areas in need of such services.
Anyone have other ideas based on solar??
Well, Monsanto and Dupont & petrochemical products aren’t so great – in hindsight
The shipping container is a great idea for domestic use also. I know building contractors have their offices in these.
Keith obviously they are not chargin a phone at night. This is why the image are shown charging in the day time. Also if you home has a solar array on top with a battery back up; your house will remain powered in the event of a power failure. In a smart grid community a power out will have a limited effect on these houses because they are sharing power with one another.
Very nice news. I’m tired of crime, let’s report some more “progress for people”
Add a battery pack and they could charge at night.
Yes another good Idea but in general most solar plants shut down in a power failure!!
Now that’s a good idea for solar
I’m sorry but you won’t solar charge anything over night by your bedside!!
