Description:
MIA (Ch.14) Power to Go (Ep.1) Backpack Solar (4 min)

A video production team spends days off road – and off-grid - getting the shots that communicate their love of nature and art.

About Chapter 14: “Power to Go”
Solar electric systems can be designed in almost any size. They’re rugged, adaptable, portable and emission-free on site. From road signs to remote sensors, how are Albertans using power to go?

About Made-in-Alberta (MIA) Series
Energy, water and climate, these are hot topics for the 21st Century. With conventional fuel reserves running out, water tables running low, and global temperatures running high, 96 percent of Albertans now want new energy solutions. Since 2004, Barb Allard and her Made-in-Alberta team have been finding these solutions and bringing them to community television and the world-wide-web.
