The New InfraSolite is a bright, reliable solar security light that features a motion detector. The InfraSolite has all of the benefits of added light, without the need for extra wiring. This is because it is powered by a rechargeable battery that gets its power directly from the sun. During the day, the solar panel coverts sunlight into electricity and stores it in the built-in rechargeable battery. During the night, the solar security light is triggered by a passive infrared motion detector. Each solar panel provides two to three times the power output of other models and the 3W solar panels charges the InfraSolite batteries under overcast conditions.

The Associated Press: New Energy Uses for Asphalt
The Associated Press reports on a Dutch company taking a new approach with asphalt, pulling heat from the source and putting it to use in homes and offices.

Solar energy collected from a 200-yard stretch of road and a small parking lot helps heat a 70-unit four-story apartment building in the northern village of Avenhorn. An industrial park of some 160,000 square feet in the nearby city of Hoorn is kept warm in winter with the help of heat stored during the summer from 36,000 square feet of pavement. The runways of a Dutch air force base in the south supply heat for its hangar.

Auto: World’s Ugliest Car Gets Unsurprisingly High Gas Mileage
The design of this newly marketed solar car may not be so appealing or powerful looking, but it can acquire high gas mileage and be better for the environment.

Note to automakers: cars of the future are meant to be fierce. Sure, they may get the equivalent of 100mpg through electric efficiency, but they’d better look like they can decapitate onlookers during the morning commute…
Then again, any car capable of 44mph speeds for three hours at a time—that runs on nothing but the sun—has our ears perked.

Designed for the streets of Taiwan, the car uses a airplane-grade Nomex honeycomb body that makes it just 550lbs with seats. The light weight brings efficiency, so much so, in fact, that the developers claim that the car just needs a few hours of sunlight to recharge its batteries for another 3 hours of driving. But we’ll admit it—with a solar panel that tiny on top of the car, we can’t help but be a little skeptical about that figure.

Then again, for its groundbreakingly low $24,600 price tag, we’ll be willing to give it a chance over this more expensive, equally hideous alternative.
