built with recycled container ago full to the MINI E, The Beautiful Earth Group
business "clean" solar panels is growing a bit 'everywhere, even in plants to produce cars. But if we are still far from having a car that moves only the rays of the sun (except for some interesting prototype) the emergence in the future of electric cars and hybrid plug-in could become a common sight to the solar-powered charging stations.
It is moving in this direction Toyota in Japan, while in the U.S. is the first kind of solar charging station in New York. To achieve a short distance from its headquarters in Brooklyn was the utility Beautiful Earth Group, which specializes in solar and wind. Made from recycled container with 24 solar panels each with 235 W, the charging of Beautiful Earth Group has a capacity of 5.6 kW and can fully recharge the MINI E, which is part of the company's fleet in three hours.
The goal is to make the "full" to the MINI E at the cost and zero impact, but also to demonstrate that even in the midst of the skyscrapers of the Big Apple this technology can work, provided you have a large surface area (the canopy of existing gas stations are too small) and a good exposure.
