LifeVillage Brings Comfort With Solar Power

Envision Solar has created the LifeVillage, a steel framed building run by solar power. Each is 3,500 sq. ft. and can be used for a residence, clinic, schoolhouse or other building and can provide power for surrounding families with solar lanterns, cell phones, etc.

With up to 50kW of generation capacity, a LifeVillage can be installed by unskilled workers in a couple of days. The "solar city" can be used in places like Haiti or Sub-Saharan Africa, where residents continue to live in sometimes deplorable conditions. Contact Envision Solar if you would like more information.

(Thanks, Annie)
