From Hangzhou to the PV Expo in Shanghai10.05.2008

Picture of the day

When I got invited to attend the PV Expo in Shanghai, I was in Australia. Since that day, I had no more resting day and just kept on going like a crazy to get here on 9. May. Now I can't believe it. I was invited to arrive here yesterday at 6:30 pm, and I reached the the Expo at 6:35 pm! After 3 months of contunuous travelling across deserts, mountains and through bad roads!!

Is there still anyone out there who says that this new technology would be not reliable?

If there is someone can produce solar cells does not need anymore that big surface to produce electricity (power) you can put it on the roof of the car! An then you take that power and conduct it directly to the electric motors (say one electric motor into every wheel built inside). The batteries does not need to be anymore that heavy and are used only to store surplus produced power for driving in the night!
