    It is reported that Australian transport fuel supplier Caltex has built the world's first solar power station
    in the region.

    Caltex solar power stations are built in the Tom Price and Onslow areas of Western Australia, which are remote, do not have transmission lines and are hours away
    from the nearest major town.
    The station is equipped with only a fuel pump and solar cells
    .
    Thanks to the abundant local solar energy resources, Caltex uses solar cells to store energy into electricity, which can guarantee 24-hour power
    supply for diesel vehicles.

    "The biggest problem with setting up a car power station in a remote area is not how to get the fuel, but how to charge the fuel pump to feed the fuel into the car energy storage
    .
    Only a small number of consumers pass by every day, and running a generator is a very expensive and inefficient business
    .
    Calvetti, Caltex's Western Australia network development manager, said owners could pay for charging with a credit card, so the station didn't even need regular employees
    .

    In addition, Caltex solar power stations can be moved
    freely.
    At some point in the future, if there is no longer a local demand for diesel vehicles, the company can unload all the equipment from the power station and ship it to another location by truck
    .
    Solar-powered equipment can bring great convenience
    to people who are on the road for a long time.
