Lotus Mobile, developed by Arizona-based Monarch Power, is designed for portability and optimized energy capture. It uses eighteen solar panels in a circular array to capture sunlight for recharging electric cars and home appliances, depending on where you erect it. The Lotus Mobile follows the sun on two axes, giving 30% more power than rooftop solar panels. It’s also less expensive because of significantly less structural support, since 70% of the traditional panel system cost is related to architectural placement.
