Have Solar Power, Will Travel

When challenged by an environmentalist to figure out how to provide water, electricity, and internet access to people located in even the most remote regions of the world, EcoSphere Technologies developed the PowerCube. Essentially a set of extendable and retractable solar panels, the PowerCube can be transported anywhere it's 15 kilowatt generator is needed.

The PowerCube also has atmospheric water generators, which provide water directly from air humidity, as well as internet connectivity and satellite communications. Designed specifically for disaster relief, humanitarian, and military uses, it can be flown in via helicopter to remote villages for schools and medical clinics and to disaster sites.

Not a problem, internal heaters keep snow and ice from forming on the road. What powers this amazing roadway? Light. Sun, headlamps, anything that produces light that the panels can transform into electricity.  Brilliant! (Pun intended)

Since there is no combustion involved in the process, there are also virtually no pollutants – making this greenhouse truly “Green.”
