Envision Solar is announcing a new endeavor to change the way nations respond to natural disasters and energy crises.

The company's LifeVillage is a 'solar city in a box,' or rather a grouping of solar-integrated buildings that can be quickly deployed to provide shelter and clean energy to poverty-stricken communities or nations in a crisis, like Haiti for example.

Using the most cutting edge and efficient solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, Envision Solar's LifeVillage offers clean energy and durable steel-framed buildings where traditional electrical grids and the associated transmission and distribution infrastructure cannot go.

Most importantly, the LifeVillage can be rapidly deployed, requires low maintenance and can be installed in seven days. Once a LifeVillage is installed, it is essentially self-sufficient.

Depending upon the needs of the community, LifeVillage has the unique potential to provide a solar powered medical clinic, schoolhouse, marketplace, housing, or mobile phone center with purified water, modern communications facilities, and electricity to a community that would normally not have access in times of crisis.

At up to 50kW of generation capacity, the LifeVillage can also provide electricity to the surrounding community, offering power for such needs as charging cell phones, solar lanterns, and batteries for hundreds of families.

Integrated with large battery systems, the LifeVillage generates clean and reliable power at any hour of the day, avoiding the inconvenient inconsistencies traditionally associated with solar.

Solar power could create fuel for cars
Albuquerque (UPI) Jul 2, 2010

Solar-powered technology could be used to "photosynthesize" hydrocarbon fuels that present-day vehicles could run on without major modifications, The Daily Telegraph reported Friday. Solar reactors can take carbon dioxide and turn it into carbon monoxide ... read more
