Portable solar power, coming soon to a Home Depot near you.
The GridKicker, by Solaroad Technologies
A picture is worth 1,000 words, so I will be brief and only share two pictures of one of the most practical, obvious renewable energy solutions that I have seen in some time. The GridKicker by Solaroad Technologies, Inc. Designed for use by road construction workers this device has obvious applications for any niche of the construction industry. According to the company, the GridKicker can generate up to 5,000 watts, about the same as a high-end gasoline powered generator, only this beauty makes no noise, has no fumes, and continually re-charges itself while in use. Is there a gas generator that can automatically re-fill itself, at no cost to you? When I saw this picture my first thought was, how soon will I be able to buy on at The Home Depot or Lowes, and for how much?
Imagine workmen coming to put on an addition to your house, repair your deck, or install solar panels on your roof. Instead of a Honda gas powered generator and red tanks of gasoline to power thier tools they pull a GridKicker out of thier truck, set it up in the sunlight in your front lawn, run a yellow extension cord to thier work bench, and away they go with drills, saws, and other power tools. Come to think of it, I can see myself doing just that working on my house in New Hampshire, or even for back up power supply.
THIS is what I call being an ‘emergy locavore’ – one construction site at a time.
