Electric Vehicle Charging Station with Connectivity to Mobile Devices to Provide Local Information
First Claim
1. A renewable energy charge station comprising:
- a renewable energy power source;
at least one processor operationally coupled to the renewable energy power source to receive power from the renewable energy power source;
an advertisement module operationally coupled to the at least one processor, the advertisement module providing at least one advertisement;
the at least one processor operationally coupled to a network; and
the at least one processor establishing a communication link with at least one mobile processor within a communication range of the at least one processor,wherein the at least one advertisement module retrieves the at least one advertisement and the at least one processor transmits over the communication link the advertisement to the at least one mobile processor while the mobile processor is within the communication range of the at least one processor.

Abstract
A solar canopy is provided where the solar canopy includes at least one photovoltaic cell to provide power. The power is used as a renewable power source for a station that comprises at least one wireless enabled processor. The wireless enabled processor detects and establishes a communication link with a mobile, wireless enabled, processor in a transmission range. Data is transmitted from the processor to the mobile wireless enabled device over the communication link where the data relates to information associated with local establishments, such as, for example, stores, restaurants, governmental agencies, or the like. The solar canopy also may be provided with the ability to couple to a battery, which may be a vehicle battery such as an electric car or electric scooter. The solar canopy would provide electrical energy either directly to the battery or through a power conditioner and, optionally, a storage facility.
