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.

A few months back we blogged about how we provided power for a super green production of a video series for the National Wildlife Federation.
The production, made in conjunction with a nationwide campus competition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions called Chillout, had a wide variety of stars, producers, musicians, directors and producers involved.
Check the video on YouTube

Over a month ago, we did a demo to the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s dept in Martinez, CA. Upon completion of that demo, the County Sherrif contacted us and asked if we would speak at the “State Sheriff’s Association” meeting, at which numerous tactical teams representing emergency services for each county in Calif. were in attendance. Over 200 attended and there were only 3 vendors invited to speak at the event.
We set up a demo at the State Sheriff’s HQ with a 10kw Mobile Solar Power System, which was positioned in front of the building where we spoke to the group.
During dialogue with these State professionals, we heard need for our mobile solar solution ranging from disaster preparedness, remote communications, power to fire command centers, power to civic and traffic control events, as well as search and rescue operations. We are responding to inquiries about power requirements relative to sustained output. The overall response and assessment of the trailer very positive.

Mobile solar is a diesel alternative for off-grid power
The Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is constructing a new facility in Salinas, California. This new facility is specially designed to help treat and rehabilitate injured wild animals. With traditional animal trails bisected by freeways, power lines and housing, the opportunity for human/animal contact (with bad results to the animal) is constantly rising.
This facility is being constructed using pure solar power from one of our 10 kW Mobile Solar Power Systems(TM). The system was delivered to the job site early this week, and after a few days of supporting the crew and its equipment, it (the mobile solar power system) had retained a full charge in its batteries. What does this mean? That the solar panels were able to acquire enough solar energy to equalize the power used by the construction crew over several days.
Off grid? This job site is like many construction sites: the power had not yet been delivered. What are the options for power to run equipment, lights, office equipment? Well, until recently, it was diesel all the way, right? Not any more – now a Mobile Solar Power System(TM) can do all that a diesel can do, with no fumes, no noise, no refueling, no toxic emissions.
Wow! The construction site is being completely powered with pure sine-wave electricity from the sun.

We have 2 Mobile Solar Power Systems working a fabulous culinary event in Pebble Beach, California this weekend: the Pebble Beach Food & Wine Expo. The event is being held at several locations in the famed coastal town.
One might imagine an unpleasant aftertaste from sampling the finest wines and foods amidst the noise and smell of diesel generators. Now,
The story was well-captured here in this article in the local news.

Last week we had an interesting encounter that shows how like-minded people – a tribe as Seth Godin calls it – bond over shared values.
Speaking to a rep from one of the West Coast’s largest grocery retailers, who is interested in and diesel alternative (solar) for a pretty ‘outside the box’ application. We give him a business card and the conversation stops…
He’s looking at the back of the card (shown) and says, “I figured you guys would be environmental, but you’re also FSC? We never see this in our industry. YOU’RE OUR KIND OF PEOPLE.”

We just got a call from an Indian executive living in Dublin who is working to establish renewable energy solutions in Africa by calling us in the US for a renewable energy solution (I guess our Search Engine Optimization is working…). This gentleman told of rural villages that have no power except diesel generators – schools, hospitals, the works. (Imagine the impact the diesel emissions are having on schoolchildren and patients – just awful.)
But in thinking about going totally off-grid with no dependence on fossil fuels, it’s humbling to see that the small island nation of Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles, has all of us squarely in the rear-view mirror.
Check this: “By the end of 2009 44% of the island’s energy will be produced by wind turbines. The remaining 56% will be produced by bio-diesel fuel derived from algae, an organism that does not take food out of the supply chain, enabling the island to shift 100% sustainable energy supply within five years.”
Back to work!
