From the World’s First Solar Powered Spacecraft to a Solar Embassy in South Africa, Solar Vending Machines to Small but Smart, Solar Microbots, Asia’s largest photovoltaic and solar cell exhibition and solar powered eneloop lanterns bringing light to the children of Uganda, Japan is clearly a world leader when it comes to solar technology. Unfortunately uptake is not as advanced as you might believe.
While solar energy is being touted as the key to a sustainable society, getting people to install panels on their own homes has been an uphill battle. Government subsidies, and purchasing excess power at increased rates has done little to help realize the potential of private solar power production. Could one of the hurdles to success be the bland blue panels themselves?
No-one wants to spend thousands installing a device that’s going to destroy their carefully chosen paint scheme. However more people may consider installing them if they could choose a color to match their house. Here are some ideas for colorful panels that can be arranged for lively effects.

Coming soon: The Sanyo eneloop music boosterMany music devices, such as amps, equalizers, and multi-track recorders operate on a 9V DC power source supplied by either AC adapters or dry-cell batteries. However AC adapters cannot run without an electrical outlet, and dry-cell batteries are often replaced and thrown out before they are fully exhausted to prevent an embarrassing power failure during a performance. In order to address this issue, Sanyo has created the ‘eneloop music booster’, a new high-capacity rechargeable lithium-ion battery able to supply a stable and long lasting 9V power source for music devices.

The eneloop circle campaign we’ve talked about previously on greenz is just one way Sanyo is working for the environment through the eneloop brand.
