| All tour buses, school buses and shuttle | | | | power assisted batteries. If it was a cloudy |
| buses should have solar power. Why? Well, | | | | week then of course the alternator would run |
| because they have huge surfaces on the roof | | | | the lights instead, but also consider that |
| to put on solar panels and because the price | | | | school buses sit over the weekend in the yard |
| of solar panels in the solar power industry | | | | and can be generating electricity while |
| have come way down in the last 10-years.It | | | | parked.Tour buses often have televisions, |
| would cost less than $5000 per bus to put on | | | | refrigerators and air-conditioning all of |
| solar panels that could operate most of the | | | | which have electrical needs and for about |
| electrical needs of the bus. If all buses | | | | $10,000 you could set up a very nice solar |
| put solar panels on top then the price of | | | | power system. Shuttle buses, which take |
| solar panels would come down drastically. | | | | people to and from the airport also have |
| There would be more money due to the | | | | lighting needs and hydraulic assisted |
| economies of scale to propel the solar power | | | | handicap elevators and other very important |
| industry to come up with new inventions and | | | | electrical needs which could all be run by |
| innovations that would help with more | | | | solar power. The great thing about solar |
| research and development to make them even | | | | power is that it generates energy whenever |
| more efficient on top of that.School buses | | | | the sun is shining and except for the cost to |
| run lots of lights that warn motorists that | | | | install it, that is free energy. Consider |
| kids will be crossing and all these lights | | | | this in 2006. |
