SolarMobi

SolarMobi (an open-source project ) Our goal is clean air and healthy life :)

Description of the problems we are solving: -The air quality problem Transportation is a major cause of pollution, because of extracting and burning fossil fuels. It also creates much of the noise pollution, which is a serious problem too. Here we will concentrate on the problems that arise from the personal use of a car for driving in the city.

• Poisonous gases coming from all internal combustion engine vehicles.
• Danger to everyone around, when driving a car.
• Restricting the space in which we live and move.
• A serious financial problem related to car maintenance, etc.

Solutions to the problem: Limiting the use of private cars in the city, by providing a much cleaner and cheaper alternative, which is the use of light electric vehicles (electric bicycles, electric kick scooters, electric skateboards, electric unicycles, etc. - we will briefly call them (LEVs) LEVs are already sufficiently developed, not expensive and have proven to be very effective in many places around the world. They have great advantages: they do not pollute, they save time, money and space. This makes them the logical choice for transportation in the cities and the fact that they can be easily charged entirely with clean energy through solar panels makes the LEVs the total winner. It is a fact already that with few hours of sunlight using solar power system our city vehicles can be charged with enough energy to drive us to work, complete our daily tasks in the city and even meet with friends and enjoy a fun ride together.

Step-by-step actions for development: Step 1

• have Solar Panels and the relevant controllers
• have High Capacity Stationary Batteries and/or extra batteries for the specific LEV ( The solar panels can directly charge the battery that each LEV has, but to be able to use the LEV in the day and charge it in the night, extra batteries are needed )
• the Solar Charging stations ( which we will call SolarMobi Spots ) can be placed on already existing structures or new ones can be built.   Step 2
• Build several public SolarMobi Spots - for example in some of the europian capital cities.

Step 3

• Start using the SolarMobi Spots and organize events in which people will be informed about the advantages of the LEVs and will be able to test them. At the same time, they will learn more about solar power. ( For these events, the LEVs will be provided by volunteers who will bring their personal light electric vehicles. Another possible option is shops that sell LEVs to provide test ones for the events )

Step 4 -Build more public SolarMobi Spots at key locations in the cities.

Step 5 -Build one or two types of SolarMobi stations for communal use ( which we will call SolarMobi Home ) The first type SolarMobi Home will be made with solar panels on the roofs of residential buildings and the people that live there can have a special place where they can charge their LEV ( being sure that their vehicle is charged with renewable energy and knowing that they are independent of the grid ) The second type SolarMobi Home can be a small closed space on the ground between the residential buildings, for example, occupying a small part of the parking lot. This way the LEVs can be parked and charged there. ( because of less sunlight between buildings, these types of stations has to be connected to the grid so full chare can be assured )

Financing of SolarMobi can come from many sources:

1. Municipal financing.
2. Financing from individuals, companies, organizations, etc.
3. Self-financing by the users of the SolarMobi stations.
4. SolarMobi can make money for existence and development by charging a small fee the users who will be charging their LEVs.

SolarMobi is an open-source social project with a noble purpose. It will develop on the basis of cooperation and the creation of a working system that benefits everyone.
