With an increasing awareness to conserve the environment, campers are
looking for eco-friendly ways to go camping.
The Environment-Friendly Way to
Camp
Nice Architects, a Slovakia-based
company, designed and developed a wind
and solar-powered compact micro home
called ‘Ecocapsule’. This egg-shaped pod
weighs 3,300 pounds and comes with
600W solar cells attached to its roof, and
a 750W wind turbine that will
revolutionize camping and the mobile
home industry. This capsule has the
ability to store and harness renewable
energy in a potent 9,744Wh battery to
power itself. Its shape also makes it easy
to collect water through containers and
vessels attached to it. The capsule filters
the collected water and turns it into
clean and potable water.
The micro home creates a self-sufficient
system that provides users with energy
for several months wherever they may
be. Campers benefit from the capsule’s
ability to store and harness renewable Aside from the innovations put into the Ecocapsule, it also has a sleek and
minimalist design that blends well in any environment. It has its own bathroom,
folding bed, kitchenette, and shower.
The Advantages of Using Solar Panels while Camping
Portable solar panels are an alternative to purchasing an Ecocapsule.
Portable panels let campers enjoy their camping experience by providing
them with energy when the sun sets. Storing power for cooking, lights,
electronics, and charging gadgets allow outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy the
comforts of home under the stars.
Solar panels provide campers with clean, renewable, and eco-friendly
energy throughout their trip, even if they stay in unpowered and remote
locations. Portable panels are easier to carry and store compared to
bringing a generator for power. Generators are not only bulky; they are
also noisy once used.
Technology and renewable energy have affected the way people camp.
Solar panels have enabled campers to travel with the things they need, Sources:
