Time and technological progress will provide access to photovoltaic energy in increasingly widespread and widespread ways: today I'll tell you about a rather eccentric one. Is called Solar Mars Bot, and has already been recognized as one of the best Inventions of 2023 by Time Magazine. Its purpose? Bringing solar energy into everyone's hands.
Solar energy and innovation
Jackery, the startup behind the Mars Solar Bot, has a long tradition in the field of portable and sustainable energy solutions: one of these (wind) I talked to you here. Now he has designed this revolutionary device in his own way, which could mark a turning point in the use of solar energy by consumers.
Il Solar Mars Bot, with its futuristic design, is not just a simple energy accumulator. It is a robotic machine that uses advanced sensors, laser radar and camera modules to orient itself autonomously. Its ability to detect and position itself in optimal zones for maximum sun exposure is a breakthrough in photovoltaic technology.
The energy "captured" by the small photovoltaic vehicle is stored in a lithium iron phosphate battery. This means it will be able to supply power to various devices via versatile connectors such as standard power outlets, USB-C and USB-A ports. The portability of this solar robot makes it ideal for outdoor activities, such as camping, or simply relaxing in the garden or by the pool, keeping your devices charged and running.
A joke? A provocation? None of this. Far from it. Rather, a small manifesto on the photovoltaic future
One of the most promising aspects of the Solar Mars Bot is its message about the potential impact that reducing dirty electricity consumption has on carbon emissions. If photovoltaics becomes small, widespread, intelligent, optimized and accessible, then it becomes transformative.
Today, as mentioned, the Solar Mars Bot is still in the concept phase, and Jackery is working on the development of a prototype for testing. The prospect of seeing it on the consumer market is truly suggestive: the idea of seeing this photovoltaic contraption around has a bit of a "Jetsons" flavour, don't you think?
Let's cross our fingers, unfold the panels and see.
