Today West Coast Green, the nation's largest conference and expo dedicated to green innovation, building, design and technology announced that SolaRover, a mobile solar power systems provider is joining forces with the conference to provide solar power to several major areas at the event, eliminating the need for conventional electricity in those areas. This is the most extensive known diversion of power to solar electricity that has been accomplished to date at the venue.
SolaRover will provide a 10 kW mobile solar generator with 14 175-watt solar panels, enough to power the Innovation Pipeline exhibit, the conference showhouse; the SG Blocks(TM) "Harbinger", designed by Lawrence Group, and the Civic Auditorium including audio/visuals where Nobel Laureate Al Gore will deliver his keynote address Saturday, September 27th from 9:30 - 11 a.m. The generator weighs 5,800 pounds and contains 28 batteries that charge when the sun is high to prolong the operation period to eighteen continuous hours. The solar generator will be placed on the tradeshow floor next to the SunEdison exhibit within the Innovation Pipeline. The Innovation Pipeline will receive 60 volts of power, the showhouse will be powered with 240 volts, and the SunEdison exhibit will receive 120 volts of power. "SolaRover delivers noiseless, fumeless, emissions-free power that requires zero maintenance," said Daniel Thiel, CEO of SolaRover. "Our systems are ideal for events like West Coast Green and we are pleased that we will be able to help make this event even more sustainable than it currently is." "West Coast Green is taking a number of measures to green the 2008 conference like event signage made from recycled materials, food sold at the event packaged in biodegradable, compostable food ware and biodiesel truck service for deliveries," said Christi Graham, Founder and President of West Coast Green. "The SolaRover generator, however, is an amazing demonstration of the kinds of new technology companies that are changing the face of business out there. We are thrilled to have them as a partner."
