Solar for Savor!

Mobile Solar has recently provided power for the great Savor the Central Coast event, held at the historic Santa Margarita Ranch. Two MS-150 solar generators were located on the property to power stages used for speaking and cooking demonstrations.

First Lithium (LiFeMgPO4) Solar Generator

This lithium-ion Model MS-150 solar generator is the result of a series of evolutional design changes that came about after the disaster in Japan in March of 2011. Built on the small MS-150 platform, and containing a LiFeMgPO4 battery bank rated at 690AH (@24VDC), it’s able to satisfy a variety of application demands. These models are not yet for sale but you can view more photos and details on our Mobile Solar Facebook page.

Solar Generator Provides Green Power for Totally Off-Grid Event

Mobile Solar collaborated with other green energy providers to power the Musicians United for Safe Energy, Inc. (MUSE) Concert on August 7 at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA. The event was executed completely without grid power and proceeds will support disaster relief efforts in Japan and organizations worldwide working to promote clean, safe energy and appropriate technologies toward a non-nuclear future.

Semmes & Co. Builders typically works on remote jobsites where the local utilities haven't run electrical lines, so most of the power for corded tools during construction comes from a site generator. But working with gas generators on sites an hour or more from civilization proved to be problematic, says custom builder Turko Semmes. Project managers noticed drawbacks to gas generators, such as sound levels and maintenance. And at least once every week or two no one in the crew would remember to bring the gas for the generator.

Witnessing the drawbacks of a gas-powered generator on a job site, Travis Semmes decided to take the necessary steps to reduce air and noise pollution by developing his own mobile solar-powered generators.

Take electricity from the sun, run it through a charge controller and into a large battery bank. Have an inverter pull that power out of the batteries (when needed) and make it available as pure sinewave current. The trick: do all this inside of an enclosed trailer.

Photovoltaic (PV) systems offer numerous advantages. They reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions by cutting back the amount of fossil fuels burned to produce electricity. Buying a PV system for your office or home also minimizes your dependence on utility power, and the savings you accrue over the twenty or more years of a solar panel’s life can be a wise long-term investment.

Mobile Solar Power receives Top-10 Green Building Products Award

Phoenix, AZ, November 12, 2009—BuildingGreen, LLC, publisher of the GreenSpec® Directory and Environmental Building News™, today announced the 2009 Top-10 Green Building Products. This eighth annual award, announced at the U.S. Green Building Council’s Greenbuild Conference in Phoenix, recognizes the most exciting products drawn from recent additions to the GreenSpec Directory and coverage in Environmental Building News.

“Our selections of the Top-10 Green Building Products represent a wide range of product types in many different application areas,” noted BuildingGreen founder and executive editor Alex Wilson. This year’s list is particularly diverse, ranging from a recycled-content concrete block, to a flywheel energy storage system for data centers, a mobile solar generator for job-site power, and an advanced modular classroom for schools.

California Polytechnic State University Project

In the summer of 2007, Mobile Solar Power was awarded a bid from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo to build three solar generators. The university’s plan was to use these generators to power high frequency radar installations along the Central Coast near the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant.
