GreenSun Solar Panels

GreenSun solar panels: direct sunlight optional - Source Dvice.com


HP3I've been trying to think of what would make building a PVC bicycle trailer worth my time and energy if I don't have electricity.  Solar panels are expensive and it's probably not easy to ride a bicycle with turbines attached to the back of the trailer.

This is the perfect solution.  Granted you are going to have to make your trailer roof flat and not rounded but I kind of figured it wouldn't be easy to make a rounded roof anyway.  This doesn't require that much sun either to produce a lot of electricity and these panels are cheaper to buy than solar panels are.

They are still in development but let's wait and see if these actually do make it to the big market and are widely available at your local Home Depot.  Or online maybe.
