Eco Factor:<\/strong> New farmer’s market will look at mobile solar power unit for power.<\/p>\n In an attempt to power farmer’s market with clean energy and spread environmental awareness amongst the visitors, Albuquerque<\/a>, New Mexico’s Downtown Action Team has given birth to what it claims will be the first solar-powered farmer’s market in the country. The non-profit dedicated to renovating the city’s downtown was struck with an idea to check if it was possible to power their farmer’s market for its entire season using solar energy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After analysis all the possible details, Albuquerque worked in collaboration with with CleanSwitch<\/a>, a solar energy system design and installation company, and the University of New Mexico’s Sustainability Studies program to achieve its goal. “From Seed to Sale, Powered by the Sun,” as the project is called, largely depends on the Solar Roller, a mobile solar power unit for its success. The Albuquerque Downtown Growers’ Market will certainly end up inspiring the end consumers to switch over to renewable energy sources.<\/p>\n
