The Powercube is a nifty, I wouldn’t call little, device to get power in the middle of nowhere, when you have absolutely no access to electricity. The 1 ton device has a host of solar panels, three to be precise, each generating 200 watts of power each. The generated power is stored onto the powercube’s 6, 200amp-hr batteries to give you power when you need it the most. Perfect for the NatGeo and Discovery channel crews. To make it that bit more rugged to take on tough conditions, the powercube is waterproof and with a considerable weight of 1 ton, I don’t see too many other problems that the powercube will have to face. To give it that take-anywhere capability, it can work both on and off the grid. The powercube doesn’t make any noise, nor heat up the environment, and even doesn’t emit anything, thus making it a very eco-friendly device, not that it wasn’t one in the first place.
This, built-like-a-tank solar power generator has a go-anywhere, I mean take-anywhere capability, let down only by its tremendous weight. And now, the party pooper, the powercube will set you back by a cool 25 grand greenbacks, and that is quite a bit of money indeed. If it comes lighter and cheaper, I would buy one. Did someone just say, “wishful thinking”? And now how about six additional batteries, a telescopic windmill and wimax support? Well, these are the optional goodies that make the Powercube really powerful.
