The Solar Energy List

Wow!

One of the best recent solar inventions! The Solé Power Tile™ is the new  electricity-generating roof tile installed alongside US Tile’s traditional clay tile roofing. From the distance, they look like normal roof tiles, but there are interesting numbers behind this new integration technology. For every 100 Sq. ft, they generate 500 watts! (about 30 tiles)

In order achieve acceptable performance, it only requires between 20-25 percent of the average roof to generate decent amount of power using the solar tiles, the rest can be installed in normal tiles.

These solar tiles are UV tested, and very wind resistant. They are tested thoroughly.   These awesome solar tiles can be installed  just like ordinary roofing, and are even lighter.

The Solé Power Tiles are built using light-weight polymer technology suitable for roofing installations. They are all trusted and safe solar roofing components. These solar tiles use a flexible solar cell manufactured by UNI-SOLAR. These patent pending solar tiles perform much better than big solar panels available worldwide.

Probably one of the most clever uses of solar energy, these solar christmas lights are for sure a cool way of going green this holiday season.

Energy is absorbed via a small staked solar panel, that when fully charged, lights up 32 feet with 102 very bright LED’s (light emitting diodes) for up to 9 hours on a full 8 hour charge. Light illumination patterns can be changed (blinking, constant or a mix).

Lights turn on automatically at dusk and turn off at dawn. These LED’s provide for over 10,000 hours of life.

Available on red, green or a combination of both.

This articulated solar spotlight is ideal for mounting on a wall or post, or staked into the ground for your landscaping lighting . The central solar panel provides power to the lights, which each use 10 very bright LEDs that light up a distance of 20 feet for nine hours.

The light can be turned on from a remote control or can light up at dusk and turn off at dawn automatically. For best performance, you should always leave it charging 2 days before its initial use for best results and to extend battery life dramatically. This solar spotlight system uses LED’s, which are very energy efficient when it comes to battery life.

This product is highly recommended for those hard to reach areas where electrical lighting is not possible. Can be easily mounted in any type of wall and also can be staked into ground. The spotlight has a very contemporary look, similar to a robot of some kind or even “sputnik” if you might
