Mother Nature Networks salutes the World’s Largest Mobile Solar Power System
Thursday, July 1st, 2010World’s largest mobile solar power system hits movie sets
Thursday, July 1st, 2010Read this nice piece in the Mother Nature Network about our S48 Mobile Solar Power System – the World’s Largest Mobile Solar Power System – and the good work it’s doing in the entertainment industry. 
- Here’s one image of what a ton of CO2 really looks like
If you’ve been following Pure Power, you already know that the “48″ avoids (does not produce) a ton or more of Carbon Dioxide each day that is ordinarily produced by a big diesel generator. The S48 – built on a 48-foot trailer (the classic “18-wheeler” trailer) and with its large solar panel array and interconnected series of batteries, the 48 needs only a single driver operator, and runs clean and quiet.
In fact, on its current production running the base camp of a feature film here in LA, the 48 is actually running 24/7, with a reduced load through the night. That means the carbon savings are far more than a ton, each day, along with the large amounts of the 40 carcinogenic compounds that are ordinarily put into the atmosphere by diesel generators.
“…and there were days it would be completely silent ’cause we were running completely on solar power”
Monday, November 2nd, 2009In a new article on ABC Technology and Science News, Pure Power’s Mobile Solar Power Systems are brought to the fore – check out this story that describes how
“Movie Studios Try to Reduce Carbon Footprint by Using Green Technology”
“The upcoming star-studded film “Valentine’s Day” was arguably the greenest production yet. The “base camp,” where trailers for wardrobe, makeup and the cast usually sit idling on generator power all day, was instead run on hybrid energy. The films executive producer, Diana Pokorny, could hear the difference. “Normally you’d walk onto a base camp, and there would be the hum of generators,” she said, “and there were days it would be completely silent ’cause we were running completely on solar power.” This saved the production 18 metric tons of CO2.
Here’s a photo of one day’s base camp, with our Solar Hybrid Base Camp Power System configured to include a solar Star Waggons (foreground, with rooftop photovoltaic panels) and 3 Hybrid S10 Mobile Solar Power Systems.
