The Solaris 24V Cordless, electric self-propelled lawn mower from Linamar Consumer Products has the power of a high-end gas mower, even in long grass.
So what? The product's web site says can run completely on solar energy via it's solar charging station option. No gas emissions. No recharging by plugging into the electrical outlet in the garage.
This new product must be real. Even the National Post published an article about it on Friday April 4, 2008 as did the Toronto Star in their Business section on Saturday April 5, 2008.
UPDATE: We just today, April 18th, connected the solar charging station and see the green flashing light indicating we did it correctly and the 25V solar panel is charging the batteries!
And, as a further update this evening, April 23th, we ran our first 'test run' of the solar charged mower on our lawn and it passed with flying colours!
To find our articles on the new solar charged lawn mower quickly simply select the Solar Charged Mowers category over on the left.
For now, to learn more about this new energy conservation product simply click on the picture of the lawn mower above to go to the manufacturer's web site.
Imagine. A solar powered lawn mower. Spring can't come here soon enough!
This screen-like product fits on the outside of any size or shape of window in a home, cottage, office or RV to repel much of the sun's direct UV rays and significantly reduce both the inside temperature build-up as well as damage caused on interior flooring and furniture without reducing the view.
The cost? Under $3 a square foot.
Our series of articles with pictures on our installation experiences and how this product works for us on our huge south facing windows starts with Exterior Solar Blinds - Part 1 - The Need.
UPDATE: We just finished (April 7, 2008) intalling EZ Snap on our 3 south facing windows. It went easier than expected and we are very pleased. We have lots of pictures and experiences to share with you. And we will, when our Exterior Solar Blind series of articles continues soon.
We are really excited about this product. Bring on the sun!
