Schneider
Electric (SE), the global specialist in energy management, re-affirms its
support for “green” technologies by providing Adamson University’s (AdU)
solar-powered car, the LEEPad2, with the Xantrex XW Solar Charge Controller.
Aside from preventing power loss and
reverse-current flow, the Xantrex XW Solar Charge Controller helps LEEPad2,
made by AdU’s electrical engineering students, perform at optimum power at all
times by converting excess voltage into amps.

The AdU
Electrical Engineering department developed the car as a response to the
University President’s challenge of "greening the university",
aligned with the AdU’s aim of becoming one of the champions of energy
efficiency when it comes to the academe.
Adu President Philippe Reveilhac affirms that
Schneider Electric will always be supportive of projects involving renewable,
especially those led by the youth. “As a company which advocates the the use of
renewable energy, we encourage the developments of projects such as this. We
see so much potential in our young, soon to be engineers and the best thing
that we can do to help them is to support the projects that they initiate. They
can always count on Schneider Electric to do that, “Reveilhac shares.
