Solar Energy Vending (S.E.V.) was formed in July 2002, after spending
the three previous years developing what is now the world's
only refridgerated vending machine that is powered by
the sun with the use of photovoltaics
(Solar Panels). In a world that is becoming ever more
aware of the need for energy conservation and the need
to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (eg carbon dioxide,
methane), S.E.V. has developed a machine that addresses
a part of the problem caused by conventional vending machines
that can be damaging to the environment as well as using
mains electricity.
Today there are companies around the world developing
technologically advanced solar electric power products,
we have utilised these by using solar cells to convert
sunlight into electricity. In addition, we have developed
machines that combine solar and wind technologies to the
same effect that can be used in the not so sunny parts
of the world.
The Solar Energy Vending
machine, whilst addressing existing markets, also opens
up new markets to off-grid locations and can be utilised
almost anywhere, such as presently on golf courses in
sunny climates where they dispense cold drinks to grateful
players on teeing areas around the course.
No more warm water out of the golf bag! They have also
been in use on Spain's hot, sunny beaches where re-hydrating
the body is not an option for the holiday maker. The S.E:V
machine is also able to vend hot drinks and food products.
The machine is also prime advertising space in
isolated areas.
