Taking precautions and becoming more eco-friendly seem to go hand-in-hand with the US Army's latest development, the TEMPER Fly. This solar-powered tent will be used in various ways from charging batteries to ensuring that communications never go down.
The TEMPER Fly tent is made possible thanks to thin, flexible solar cells. Able to generate 800 watts of electricity, it could prove invaluable on the field. A smaller version called QUADrant is also available.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Solar-powered Camping Gear
- Develop eco-friendly camping equipment that utilizes solar power to create a self-sustained and technology-enabled camping experience.
- Flexible Solar Technology
- Invest in developing flexible and lightweight solar technology to power various applications in remote areas, particularly in the military and disaster relief sectors.
- Backup Power Solutions
- Design and produce reliable and efficient backup power solutions that utilize sustainable energy sources, providing a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional power generators.
Sectors Adopting This
