INTELLIGENT SOLAR FOREST TO POWER AND SHADE CARS

AUGUST 10th, 2009

In the absence of a car-free world, electric cars powered by this pretty cool design by Neville Mars is an interesting solution. Called the Solar Forest, the panels actually follow the sun throughout the day for maximum efficiency, while the canopy provides some much needed shade for the cars below. Every single tree has been made from a collection of photovoltaic leaves mounted on a branching poll. At the base of these trees is a power outlet that will be ready to juice up your eco-rides.
