In order to reduce nearly 2 tons of CO2 emissions annually, Fuel Miami LLC is implementing 600 solar powered bus shelters citywide. Granted, 2 tons of CO2 is just a drop in the bucket, but you’ve got to start somewhere. Claiming that the energy used to light bus shelters is often overlooked when trying to change the world, Fuel Miami LLC feels as though their move may influence others to begin similar projects. 

Unfortunately, there is speculation as to whether or not this is a viable plan due to not only graffiti and possible destruction of the stations but also theft of panels which would likely have a high “resale” value, though it would be strange walking into a pawn shop and seeing solar panels sitting next to snowmobile parts and jewelry, but you never know.

Recently, I was viewing their online selection and came across the Solarflat 1.8 Solar Car Battery Charger. I have to admit, the premise is definitely promising. I have had instances where I’ve gotten out of work and gone to start my car and got nothing. That can be a pretty frustrating experience, which is why I recommend AAA, but I digress.

Not only does the film maximize output, it also contains a special UV inhibitor that protects it from heat damage. The unit itself, is 14”x5”x0.6” and mounts via suction cup to your windshield, includes 10 ft. cables as well as battery clamps and a warranty package.
