BELOW – GRID – PARITY
By Craig Cole, evpulse.com
The aptly named and cleverly designed Wind and Solar Tower combines the benefits of wind turbines with those of solar panels to create one relatively compact system that puts out big power.
The Wind & Solar Tower™ uses the slogan "Below Grid Parity™" to emphasize that being "green" no longer carries a cost penalty over being "dirty." WSTs can produce substantial amounts of electricity with no fuel cost, bringing the expense of making power down to the point where WST power is below parity with costs of conventional generation.
The Wind & Solar Tower™, the world’s only electricity-generating charger powered by a combination of wind and sun, is far more than an efficient and novel way to charge electric vehicles quickly. In remote locations, it can bring reliable, clean electric power to rural, off-grid villages – not only providing electricity where needed – but also saving lives.
