Robert Noble, who leads Envision Solar International as CEO, was recently featured in a business discussion named ‘Parking Lot’s Double Duty’, the online business segment of FOX.
The interactive discussion on the topic ‘future of solar energy’ reflected Noble’s insight about the future of solar energy and featured some of the recently introduced products of his company such as its Solar Tree and Solar Grove.
This discussion was prompted by the recent oil spill disaster and the business segment stressed the need for utilizing the renewable energy sources such as solar energy.
Envision Solar is the foremost company to pioneer solar modules to produce power from millions of acres of land used for parking. The Solar Trees while providing shade for the vehicles in the parking slot, allowed electric powered hybrid vehicles to get charged and also helped the companies to generate power at a minor cost than they pay for a utility company by producing solar power to counterbalance the power consumption of the company by utilizing grid tied solar systems and allow people in the vicinity to be a witness to the solar power generation efforts.
The companies who currently benefit by the use of solar parking arrays include Dell and Johnson & Johnson. Envision Solar has in all the years designed and installed around 9-MW of solar arrays in residential, commercial and public places all over the world.
