Powering Military Bases

There are about 25 military bases throughout the state of Florida including, army, coast guard, air force, navy & marines. Each of these bases would need to use renewable energy to charge the entire base: transportation, small and large electronics, lighting fixtures, etc. SolarTower would be an ideal solution to generate power on the roofs of the building or to place around the facility.

Power Business

SolarTowers can be used to place on the roof of businesses, universities and schools, research institutions, convention centers, etc to generate power to charge the buildings operation and sell back to the grid. Using the rule-of-thumb, a 2-kw system in Florida receiving direct sunlight for 5 hours per day would expect to generate 5 - 8.5 kw-h per day throughout the year.

Powering Beach Fun

It is very popular for the beaches up and down the coast of Florida to rent out scooters, mopeds, segways, and the like to those looking to get around easily for the day without having to pay for parking. SolarTowers can generate enough power to run these vehicles all day as well as sell back to the grid for businesses to make a profit.

Powering the Golf Course

Florida has about 1,500 thousand golf courses. All of these utilize golf carts to transport people to each hole. We estimate there to be an average of 50 golf carts per course. With 50 golf carts per resort at 50 watts per golf cart would require about 2.5kW of power. Throughout the state of Florida this could be about 4 MW of power.

Powering our Parks

All state parks or YMCA’s have benches, pools, vehicles, etc that require electricity. SolarTower can be designed over park benches and serve as shade while powering the facility, heating the pool, and charging up electric vehicles. The best idea with SolarTower is nothing needs to be changed or modified to accommodate the solar panels and it will look ascetically appealing designed around the park benches.

Powering Public Transportation

Public transportation presents a big opportunity for solar power. Equipping the public busses (lynx), school buses, etc with solar panels will allow them to charge themselves and save on gas reducing the carbon footprint. The busses will need to be retrofitted with the right engines, however, this cost could be offset by the savings on gas and if enough power is generated we one could sell back to the grid and turn a profit.

Powering your Transportation

Personal transportation such as RVs, electric cars, boats, and jet skis can all be modified to accommodate solar panels. In some cases we can attach the solar panels directly to the roof of an RV or car but in other cases we can build charging stations where a boat of jet ski could power up before going for a day of fun on the water.

 

 

Powering Gas Stations

The statement of using solar power to run a gas station is distributive and a great application to move this nation toward independence on foreign oil. This situation could be a win win for everyone through improvement of the gas stations imagine through promoting renewable energy projects and saving on the electricity bill.

Powering Stadiums/ Amusement Parks

Americans favorite past time, sports can do its part toward going green and begin equipping its stadium with SolarTowers. These towers can be placed anywhere around the facility with their small footprint rising above tree line they can generate the most power to run the lights and score boards and all other electrical needs to make our pastime the best it can be.

Powering Homes

As the country is joining together to make it through these tough times and bring more jobs back to the United States homeowners want to use more renewable energy. One application is placing SolarTowers around neighborhoods to power the homes and feed into the grid. Another way to do this is place solar panels on the roof of homes and feed power back into the grid. If the renewable energy dividend is implemented solar energy will prove to be a very affordable opportunity.
