The Honda Motor Company, best known for it’s super smooth cars and motorcycles, is all set to promote solar energy in a big way with its venture called Honda Soltec company that makes solar panels. What this essentially means is Honda, which has long been promoting eco friendly technology will give solar energy a huge push thus changing the way the game is played. The Honda Soltec factory estabilished in November, 2007 is mass producing solar panels in a massive scale and it wouldn’t be very surprising if Honda launches a solar powered car in the near future.
This, considering the fact that Honda have already established a solar powered hydrogen filling station in torrence, California. And if you were wondering why Honda is producing hydrogen? Simply, to power their Fuel celled car , the FCX. Honda plans to produce and promote the solar cells for a variety of purposes like solar powered homes, solar powered street lighting, etc.
Obviously, with a Global manufacturing giant like Honda trying to make solar technology popular, it is just a matter of time before other big manufacturers fall in line. The future for our fragile environment is looking brighter. Going green is the best way to go forward.
