The First Solar Elevator
A Greek company named Mezolift is the first company to have created a solar lift, they call is Mezus Solar. The solar elevator was first debuted in September 2011 at the International Expo of Thessaloniki. The lift was specifically designed with smaller buildings and houses, with a total of 4 floors, in mind. Another reason for this lift, was the fact that it would not be using electric energy, thus being very beneficial to our environment.
