The Parasolar is green technology concept that provides energy for lighting, charging, heating, and cooling equipment and devices. While protecting you from the sun, you can take advantage of Parasolar technology that transform the light absorbed at daytime to provide power by day and night.
The product comes in one carry-on case, easily transportable. The cover helps to fix and stabilize the Parasolar to the ground. The parasol is optimized with flexible photovoltaic laminated panels integrated in the synthetic cloth stretched on the structure of the parasol. The charger/battery and the energy transformer are placed at the base of the Parasolar, giving its stability. The tubular pole can be extended with a simple telescopic structure. When clipped together or assembled, the parasol and the base automatically initiate the energy transformation process. The Parasolar supports one-12volts-output and two USB sockets.

After solar powered notebook concept, here comes solar powered boat concept, and not just solar powered, but human powered too. The idea was to find a new way of classic pedal boat which became old, and nothing really new has been released for years. As you can see in the picture, 4 people can settle on the benches of the circular cockpit. But only two pedal head-to-head. In case of tiredness, it is sufficient to rotate the tower which supports the umbrella so that 2 other courageous persons can take over.
Feeling tired ? Users can lift up and seek help from the sun to lighten their efforts. The umbrella has indeed a solar panel connected to batteries that supply an electric motor hidden in the top of the tower. Whether pedal or hybrid mode (pedalling – electric), the bracket is connected to a shaft leading to two propellers at the bow of the boat. The two bars connected to the rudder are located in facing back of the bench. Incidentally, they also serve as armrests.

This solar notebook concept is a laptop with complete power independent. Its independence is due to powerful batteries that are recharged by wide Solar Panel attached to the computer. Equipped with satellite link GPS, internet access, and satellite telephone which makes this device not only power independent but also universal tool for communication and exchange information literally from any spot on the planet.
The solar panel may be completely detached from the main body to be put away for recharging, then smaller battery inside the computer is on. This small battery is recharged with solar power too when DC is plugged in.
This sure do will come in handy for scientists or researchers who work far away from civilization and power source.
