Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

The elctricial car is our future for travelling, therefore I clkwong@ persoanlly predict the elctricial power station will success after 2010. Thank You for your supporting information and pictures!!! hello!!!

Those look to be standard commercial PV modules, which range from 100 to 200W each. That solar array was all for looks and press, but won't actually generate anywhere near enough energy to power a light bulb, let alone charge up the car. What the hell is wrong with the solar installers in Chicago? at a Latitude of 41 degrees North, the optimal angle is 43 Degrees above horizontal. These morons installed it flat, making the output about 25% of what it should be. This installation is a complete joke. This company should be ashamed of themselves.
