Pure Power finishes Mentalist season – provided base camp power on location

Saturday, April 30th, 2011

Pure Power has just completed the season powering the on-location base camps for The Mentalist (Warner Bros., broadcast on CBS) – our “S48″ base camp power system was used to power the show’s base camp whenever it went out on location.

The 48 did great work this season, providing all base camp power for up to 10 hours on this big show. The 48 has also provide base camp power on Inception and the upcoming Steve Carell comedy release Crazy, Stupid, Love

We could tell you, or you could read the quote from the show’s transportation coordinator:

“The production of The Mentalist works hard to be energy efficient and sustainable in creating our show. During the 2010-2011 season, to save fuel and reduce our carbon footprint, we powered our base camp with the world’s largest Mobile Solar Power System whenever we were out on location. It has been exciting for the entire cast and crew to be leaders in this effort and to do our part for the environment.”
- Mike Padovich, Transportation Coordinator, The Mentalist

Stay tuned for more feedback from the Mentalist and some cool events we’ve done this Spring.

Steve Carell, the hilarious star of “The 40-Year Old Virgin” and “The Office” now has a new title: “really green comedic actor”. This is because the base camp of his new feature Warner Bros. film project is being solar-powered by the world’s largest Mobile Solar Power System™.

The really powerful solar generator – the S48T designed by Pure Power Distribution – was recently seen powering the base camp of the Leo DiCaprio (“really green serious actor”) starrer “Inception” – so you know this solar system has chops.

What does the world’s largest Mobile Solar Power System do all day? Well, it looks incredibly cool, with moveable solar panels that can track the sun, and then fold down for transport. But even in Hollywood, looking cool is not as important as being cool: the S48T produces 600 Amps of pure sine wave power with no noise, and no emissions – keeping about a ton of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere each day – along with the other 40 carcinogens found in diesel exhaust.
