Company Profile: http://www.otcpicks.com/Envision-Solar.htm
Envision Solar is a leading solar planner, architect and inventor designing and deploying clean energy systems globally. The solar master planning firm provides strategic long-term solutions conducting comprehensive sustainability planning and optimizing locations for solar array structures. It is the first to invent and build structures for solar that address the unused millions of acres of parking spaces. Its innovative systems include commercial, residential, and public entities with products such as the Solar Tree®, Solar Grove®, Solar Row™, LifePort®, LifePod™, LifeVillage™ and others.
EVSI News:
July 14 - Envision Solar Invents World's First Solar Parking Array with Fully Integrated Sun Tracking Ability
Breakthrough EnvisionTrak™ Technology Integrated with Axion Power’s Solar Power Storage
Envision Solar International, Inc. (OTCBB: EVSI), a leading solar planner, architect and inventor designing and deploying clean energy systems globally, announces the world’s first solar parking array with fully integrated sun tracking ability through its EnvisionTrak™ technology.
Envision Solar’s Solar Tree® with EnvisionTrak™ is a parking lot solar array to incorporate solar tracking into the primary structure of its canopy. The dual-axis tracking Solar Tree has been awarded a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark office.
By tracking the movement of the sun throughout the day, a Solar Tree with EnvisionTrak can produce a significant increase in energy output over traditional static solar arrays, which generate maximum output only when the sun is at its peak, generally between noon and 3 p.m.
EnvisionTrak’s first installation is part of an Axion Power Cube™ installation project, with funding recently approved by the state of Pennsylvania’s Solar Energy Program, which will analyze the amount of solar energy that can be generated by Envision’s Solar Trees and then stored in Axion Power’s lead carbon PbC™ batteries. A Solar Tree with EnvisionTrak will deliver solar energy during the day with its output compared to that of an adjacent fixed Solar Tree. The energy will then be released to demonstrate how it can be delivered back to the grid during peak usage times.
“EnvisionTrak overcomes one of the biggest objections to fixed solar PV installations by maximizing the amount of energy that can be delivered during daylight hours,” said Bob Noble, CEO of Envision Solar. “By offering the first dual-axis tracking parking lot solar array, we can enable organizations to significantly increase the amount of clean energy that they produce for very little additional cost.”
“By partnering with Axion to provide an efficient, high-capacity energy storage solution, Envision Solar can expand the benefits of solar energy even further. Axion’s PbC batteries extend the capabilities of the Solar Tree by enabling it to charge a battery during the day and continue to generate power at night. The combination of these two innovations will drastically impact the capabilities of the SolarTree,” continued Noble.
“EnvisionTrak is a major leap forward in clean energy. By extending the high generation period beyond the midday hours, we can significantly increase the amount of energy transferred to our batteries,” said Tom Granville, CEO of Axion Power International, Inc. “This provides an even greater opportunity to send energy back into the grid during peak demand hours. By partnering with Envision Solar on this project, we’re able to push the boundaries of the total amount of energy that a solar array can generate and discharge in a day. This will allow us to really showcase the interplay between storage and solar and its impact on next generation clean energy storage and production. We look forward to working with our strategic partner as they continue to advance EnvisionTrak, Life Village™ and their other solar projects.”
ABOUT AXION POWER INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Axion has developed and patented a next generation energy storage device that won the prestigious Frost & Sullivan Technology Award for North America in the field of lead-acid batteries. According to Frost & Sullivan, Axion's new PbC® batteries have “the potential to revitalize the lead-acid battery industry by breathing new life into an established technology that is not well suited to the requirements of important new applications like hybrid electric vehicles and renewable power.”
Axion Power International, Inc. is the industry leader in the field of lead-acid-carbon energy storage technologies. Axion believes this new battery technology is the only class of advanced battery that can be assembled on existing lead-acid battery production lines throughout the world without significant changes to production equipment and fabrication processes. It also believes it will be able to manufacture carbon electrode assemblies in volume at low cost using standard automated production methods that are commonly used in other industries. If and when its electrode manufacturing methods are fully developed, Axion believes it will be able to sell carbon electrode assemblies as virtual plug-and-play replacements for lead-based negative electrodes used by all other lead-acid battery manufacturers. Axion's future goal, after filling their plant's lead-carbon battery production capacity, is to become the leading supplier of carbon electrode assemblies for the global lead-acid battery industry.
July 13 - Envision Announces the LifeVillage, a 'Solar City in a Box'
Solar Product to Change the Way Countries Respond to Natural Disasters and Energy Crises
Envision Solar International, Inc. (OTCBB: EVSI) (www.envisionsolar.com), a leading solar planner, architect and inventor of clean energy systems, announces its newest solar innovation, the LifeVillage™, which offers rapid and widespread deployment of safe, system-built, solar-integrated buildings that provide shelter and clean energy in times of crises.
Using the most cutting-edge and efficient solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, Envision Solar’s LifeVillage offers clean energy and durable steel-framed buildings where traditional electrical power generation and the associated transmission and distribution infrastructure cannot go. At 3,500 square feet of habitable area, the LifeVillage has the unique potential to provide a solar powered clinic and/or schoolhouse, residences, purified water, refrigeration and modern communications facilities.
The LifeVillage can also be tailored to an extensive array of applications, depending upon the situation and need. At up to 50kW of generation capacity, the LifeVillage can provide electricity to the surrounding community, offering power for such needs as charging cell phones, solar lanterns, and batteries for hundreds of families.
Integrated with large battery systems, the LifeVillage provides clean and reliable power at any hour of the day or night which is especially beneficial in times of crisis. These solar integrated buildings can be rapidly installed on site in just a few days by unskilled workers.
In an effort to build the best possible product that could be shipped to remote locations, Envision Solar partnered with Nuconsteel to frame each LifeVillage using light gauge steel. Envision Solar’s partnership with Nuconsteel includes access to the Mobile Framing Solution, roll former and light gauge steel technology, all of which offer a distinct and easily-deployable feature for the LifeVillage product.
By assembling the LifeVillage onsite, Envision Solar can cut down on the need for a manufacturing plant, costs, time, and labor significantly. Fabricating onsite also considerably reduces costs associated with shipping, and allows commoditized steel to be sourced in-country, if available.
“In light of the recent earthquake activity and rebuilding efforts in countries like Haiti, it is crucial for under-developed nations to have a quick, reliable energy solution, like the LifeVillage, in times of crises,” said Robert Noble, CEO of Envision Solar. “The LifeVillage is comprised of very simple, moderately-sized buildings that can do very big jobs - like provide purified water, refrigeration, medical facilities and transmission capabilities for cell phones, Internet, radio and television – in a time when recovering communities need help the most.”

ABOUT COLORECTAL CANCER
According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer is the third most common form of cancer diagnosed in the United States. It is estimated that over 146,000 people were diagnosed with some form of colorectal cancer with over 49,000 patients dying from colorectal cancer in 2009. Surgery is often the main treatment for early stage colorectal cancer. When colorectal cancer metastasizes (spreads to other parts of the body such as the liver) chemotherapy is commonly used. Treatment of patients with recurrent or advanced colorectal cancer depends on the location of the disease. Chemotherapy regimens (i.e. FOLFOX or FOLFIRI either with or without bevacizumab) have been shown to increase survival rates with some stages of colorectal cancer. Currently, there are seven approved drugs for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer: 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), capecitabine (Xeloda®), irinotecan (Camptosar®), oxaliplatin (Eloxatin®), bevacizumab (Avastin®), cetuximab (Erbitux®) , and panitumumab (Vectibix®). Depending on the stage of the cancer, two or more of these types of treatment may be combined at the same time or used after one another. For example, FOLFOX combines 5-FU, leucovorin and oxaliplatin and FOLFIRI combines 5-FU, leucovorin and irinotecan. Avastin®, a VEGF monoclonal antibody inhibitor, is commonly administered together with FOLFIRI and FOLFOX. Typically, patients who fail FOLFIRI and/or FOLFOX (+ Avastin) and who are considered EGFR-positive (non-mutated, wild-type KRAS status), receive the EGFR monoclonal antibody inhibitors Erbitux® or Vectibix®. However, patients who continue to progress beyond these treatments have a poor prognosis.

July 14 - GoSolarUSA Advances to Finalize Deal for PREE Technology
GSLO and PREE™ Management Come to Terms for Moving Forward
GoSolarUSA Inc. (OTC: GSLO) disclosed that the Company has reached an understanding with PREE™ regarding the terms and future participation between the two companies in the development, delivery and marketing of the new PREE™ product line. PREE™ owns a breakthrough technology that uses wireless internet signals and solar energy to keep Smartphones constantly charged without having to be plugged in. After encountering a flood of inquiries regarding PREE™ product details, possible PREE™ distributorships and interest in investment, GSLO management decided to fast-track their deal with PREE™.
The PREE™ technology is designed for use with a wide range of Smartphones, including Apple’s iPhone (Nasdaq: AAPL), Research in Motion’s BlackBerry (Nasdaq: RIMM) and Google’s Android (Nasdaq: GOOG). GSLO is anticipating significant market demand for PREE™ product.
Smartphone users often find that their batteries can’t keep up with power-hungry applications. A typical Smartphone battery will lose 5% to 10% of its life every hour. As a result, (before the PREE™) users had to plug their phones into a charger at least once a day or more. The PREE™ product is a device being configured to empower users to disconnect from the plug and go wireless for as long as they need to use their applications. This exciting device converts inbound wireless LAN waves and solar energy into an electrical charge powerful enough to keep the Smartphone charged.
Mobile phone accessories generate billions of dollars of revenue to manufacturers. GSLO is excited to be a part of bringing a new American technology to the market that can be used worldwide. The phone accessory market is projected to reach $80 Billion by 2012. The company feels that this product has major market potential.
