Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 " http://www.gvnr.com/91/5.htm " http://www.gvnr.com/91/5.htm Global Village News and Resources Issue 91 - October, 2004 Running on Sunshine For most of the year Simon Roberts runs his car on sunshine! The photovoltaic panels on the roof of his house in Lambeth, London, supply 80 per cent of the fuel. Five years ago he became the first person to install his own kerbside electric car charger to power his Peugeot 106 and has been enjoying emission free, silent motoring ever since. Intent on being as green as possible, Simon recently decided to install PV panels so that he could generate his own, clean, free solar electricity supply. Now Simon is driving London’s first solar powered car. He has no worries about the price of fuel and he can sell his surplus electricity to Ecotricity through their Renewable Rewards scheme. He explained that he did it to prove that it can be done. “I’m trying to be an ecowarrior without changing my lifestyle too much,” said Simon.
