In short, it is a solar\/wind mix that takes the guilt out of the electric car experience.

Besides providing power for electric cars, it is also a source of renewable energy for nighttime street lighting.<\/p>\n<p>Follow the links to find out more about Skypump&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbangreenenergy.com\/products\/sanya-skypump\/specifications\" target=\"_blank\">specifications<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbangreenenergy.com\/products\/sanya-skypump\/features\" target=\"_blank\">features<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Video: A Sanya streetlight by UGE spins on the Korean coast.
