3 Amazing Innovations in Solar technology

1. The SolarKindle
One product that grabbed much attention at this year's Consumer Electronics Show was a cover case with a solar panel for Amazon's Kindle E-reader, showcased by Solar Focus. From just one hour of stable sunlight, the SolarKindle collects enough power to your device for 3 consecutive days. What's more amazing is that the SolarKindle is advertised as being able to be powered 3 consecutive months under "normal" sunlight conditions.

2. Artificial Leaf
A researcher from MIT has developed a technology in what he calls an "Artificial Leaf", which is an energy storage technology that successfully mimics the process of photosynthesis. The so called "Artificial Leaf" is engineered to use solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, providing a fuel cell making off-grid lifestyle possible. It has been confirmed that Sun Catalystix will work on many products using only renewable energy, fueled with electricity for household items and tools. The product is soon to be advertised for commercial use.

3. The Lotus Position

What they call "Lotus", is a structure designed to charge up electric vehicles as well as lighting up the streets with LED lighting. An italian architect Giancarlo Zemo along with an architectural design company known as "Luminexece" has created a multi-function design. A small "Lotus" generates 500 watts of electricity and larger models generates 2.8 kilowatts. The structural design most definitely is envisioned as a solar powered charging station for electric vehicles for the future.

Google headquarters are more eco-friendly than ever

As we all know "Google" had been most recognized for their most trustworthy search engine that has now been branched out towards many technological innovations such as tablets, smartphones, netbooks, browsers, and smart televisions. It had also been discovered that Google had been charging their vehicles with solar energy by driving around campus with commuter vehicles powered by electricity.

Google had worked on a project for fairly quite some time, regarding to charging their electric vehicles cost effectively  Therefore, Google had built carports all around their parking lot involving closely to 9000 solar panels made from Sharp Electronics, a unit of Japan's Sharp Corp, and using their parking lot as a charging station for their vehicles. Google is still looking for ways to make its campus more environmental friendly. “This is definitely just the tip of the iceberg,” Radcliffe said.
