A useable solar powered air conditioner is finally available for use. Not so much to the general public just yet but so far to McDonald's and the US Navy. The Greencore patented GC 10200, made in the USA with eco-friendly materials comes in two models. One is a stationary; the other is a mobile version, which requires the use of batteries. This green air conditioner is set up so that when the sun doesn't shine it runs off the batteries that run off the power grid. In other words, it's a hybrid air conditioner that can switch from solar to battery easily. "Using a single 170-watt solar panel, it can keep a 600 square-foot room cool". A 600 square-foot room is about the size of a modular classrooms, a small mobile home, a single (sometimes double) room apartment and military tents.

I am sure friends of the environment will go for it and this may go a very long way in conservation of energy.

Those who are aware of scarce energy resources and also those who are conscious of what most human activities are doing to planet Earth say that the world need solar power – abundant energy resource. Many savvy concerns are offering products, large and small, that need solar power to function. Scosche has recently unveiled the SolChat Bluetooth Speaker Phone - a new solar powered gadget. Safely use it in it in a car while driving. What is more, it has a pairing capability with your mobile phone, which automatically connects when you enter your car. That means you don’t have to bother about connecting every time you come out to drive. Read the rest of this article »

Those interested in Solar Energy might already be familiar with the 64MW Nevada Solar One - world's third largest concentrated solar power plant. Located about 25 miles south of Las Vegas, the Plant spans 400 acres and generates approximately 129 million kWh of solar electricity annually, enough to provide power to more than 14000 homes, while emitting near zero carbon dioxide.
