Solar Power on the Front Lines

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) Advanced Power Generation Future Naval Capabilites program has introduced technology designed to harness some of the sunlight that beats down upon U.S. Marines operating in the Arabian Desert. Fueled by the sun, the Ground Renewable Expeditionary ENergy System (GREENS) is portable, 300W, photovoltaic/battery system that provides continuous power to marines in the field. This technology will be of great benefit to the military so that power will never be an issue in saving and benefitting the lives of those who defend our country.
