The Solar Powered Tent
The Solar Powered Tent
Orange (yep, the mobile phone company) pooled their creativity with product design company Kaleidoscope to create the world’s first solar power tent.
Using “photovoltaic” solar threads, they planned to create a solar panel roof, allowing campers to charge their phones, use WiFi – and even keep the groundsheet warm.
They showcased this futuristic wonder at Glastonbury Festival in 2003, but we sadly haven’t seen it since.
