Interesting article here titled “Mobile Solar Power to Save Money and Save Lives”

…But note that Mobile Solar and Portable Solar are used almost interchangeably. In our world, there’s a BIG difference – Mobile Solar, such as provide by Pure Power and others, denotes commercial-grade or military-grade solar equipment that is capable of providing electricity for:

  • power tools on construction sites
  • project management trailers, including air conditioning
  • wardrobe, talent trailers, and catering – up to entire “base camps”
  • A/V systems for stages and bandstands
  • powering electric vehicles
  • powering schools or homes in remote villages
  • chilling of medicines for emergency first response or field hospitals.

“Portable solar” generally refers to solar backpacks and small units that can be carried by one person and can power a laptop, cell phone or MP3 player.

Suniva Reports 19% Efficiency Solar Cells – made in USA

Pure Power, with our Mobile Solar Power Systems, and Military-Grade Mobile Solar Microgrids, as well as other solar applications across the US, and around the world, will benefit from these higher efficiencies, and look forward to mass market release of higher efficiency panels.

Pure Power saves lives with Mobile Solar Microgrid

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

Recent news reports describe a logistical nightmare facing the US military: alarming numbers of troops killed guarding supply lines. One of the prime supply line items is the diesel fuel needed to run equipment, vehicles and generators in remote locations.

To help reduce supply-line fatalities by reducing the amount of diesel fuel needed in these remote locations, Pure Power (www.PurePowerD.com) has developed its first Military-Grade Mobile Solar Microgrid(TM). The first Mobile Solar Microgrid has been delivered.

“As a military unit extends forward, it brings along its power supply which, until today, was a generator that requires diesel fuel,” says Christopher Smith, Vice President of Pure Power, “Day after day that generator needs more fuel, which puts American lives at risk. Our Mobile Solar Microgrid reduces supply line threat because its fuel is sunlight. Not only will this help save lives by reducing logistical load, it is a clear example of how Americans can innovate to achieve security through energy independence.”

The Mobile Solar Microgrid is more powerful than Standard Pure Power Mobile Solar Power Systems developed by Pure Power. It carries 33% more battery storage, 20% more inverter capacity and 10% more solar-intake capacity than Standard Systems.

In addition to the Mobile Solar Microgrid, Pure Power has the biggest fleet of Mobile Solar Power Systems in the US, including the world’s most powerful mobile solar generator: the S-48T, which can provide up to 72,000 Watts of clean quiet solar power.

“The Mobile Solar Microgrid can also be used by emergency first responders on US soil,” says Smith, “and it’s an important earthquake preparedness tool for municipalities, universities and schools.”
