Portable Solar Study Classrooms

Green Apple Classrooms are the 1st Reasonable Grid Neutral Compact Portable Solar Study Classrooms As a substitute for the standard “Brick and Mortar” study room, Transportables or relocatables are a preferred, cheap solution. The Green Apple adds a new standard becoming one of the first portable solar study classrooms to generate all it’s required electricity through the PV film attached to it’s roof. Thru Net-Metering the Green Apple, under most conditions, will generate more electricity than it’ll require on a yearly basis. A Clean Energy Solution An advanced HVAC unit, state-of-the-art lighting system, and increased insulation all reduce the unit’s energy demands. To meet these lowered demands, we employ a choice of amorphous silicon thin-film solar generating panels on the roof of the units. The result’s a study room which generates as much energy as it consumes. For California taxpayers, it means a once a year electrical reductions of $22.3 million if the state ultimately replaces a quarter of the prevailing transportable fleet with energy efficient, portable solar study classrooms.

And eventually, for the planet it suggests an emissions savings of over 100,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year. Optional Curved Roof The indisputable fact that lightweight classrooms can be moved from one location to another presents a novel design challenge when dealing with solar panels. It is always best for solar panels found in the Northern Hemisphere to face true south so as to maximize solar output. But because of the potential mobility of portables, we created a curved roof that maximizes average solar output given the uncertainties inherent in portable solar powered classroom placement.

Because thin-film panels are better at soaking up solar electricity in diffuse light settings compared against conventional crystal panels, our study rooms generate important amounts of electricity regardless of what alignment they are placed in. Alternatively, if a college district is confident that a compact will remain in the same location for the duration of its lifetime, custom solar panel configurations are practical. Calif. Division of the state Designer The Green Apple Study room Designs for Models A, B, and C have been accepted by the California Division of State Architect. Giving the chance for the buildings to be sold to any Public School District in the state of California. The DSA provides design and construction oversight for K-12 colleges and Community Colleges throughout the State of California.

With the extensive selection of climate types (from the High Sierra’s to Death Valley) California offers the hardest of environments for Architect’s and Builders. Though there’s a growing need for “Green Portables” in the state there were comparatively few entries to the field. The method for DSA approval is a really detailed and laborious effort which has limited the number of rivals. SMI our production partners have plants for the portable solar  study classrooms  in both southern California and Texas and may be able to ship anywhere in America.
