Orange Solar Tent


Orange Unveils Solar Powered Tent for Staying Connected While Camping in Luxury
Published on June 24, 2009 at 8:56 PM
Orange has revealed their vision for the tent of the future. Utilising cutting edge eco-energy technology, the Orange Solar Concept Tent will allow campers to keep in touch and power their essential camping gadgets.

The Concept Tent has been designed in association with American product design consultancy Kaleidoscope and builds on learnings from the original Orange Solar Tent that was trialled at Glastonbury in 2003, as well as 2004’s Orange Text Me Home Dome. Having worked closely with Glastonbury for the last eleven years, Orange know the importance of keeping in contact with friends while onsite and undertook this concept project to look at how the festival goers communication and power supply needs might be met in the future.

Photovoltaic Fabric

Latest research shows that by weaving specially coated solar threads into conventional fabric, revolutionary new ways of capturing the sun’s energy could soon become a reality. These radical advances mean that rather than relying upon familiar fixed panels, designers were free to conceive how a tent of flexible solar fabrics might look. The Concept Tent’s solar shell uses this technology to full effect with three directional glides which can be moved throughout the day to maximise its solar efficiency, capturing the optimum amount of energy which can to be used throughout the tent in a variety of new and exciting ways.

Bit of old news, but is interesting and would really help some people to get out of their house and out into the boonies for a camping trip. At least it would be a start for some to expand their world to include nature, even if they stayed inside the tent at least they'd be out of the house.
And for others, more avid outdoor types, it would give them a neat way to go camping if they wanted.

and I have no problem with going out the same way :twisted:

It's a great idea, but this technology is still too expensive, or it is in the UK. What's it like in the States?

:think: No idea... I looked at solar panels once, with installation, a few years back, ordered a DVD with manual on how to build them yourself for under 200... I don't understand what they're talking about, so...

As far as the tent goes, no idea on that either. Don't own any tents to speak of let alone a solar powered one.

The Pho­to­voltaics are the expensive ones. It's about £8,000 to £15,000 to get the full array over here. But, people who have those can make money by selling their leccy back to the grid.

You can do them cheaper and power some of the stuff in your house. we're looking into that, but it comes down to time at the moment. When/if we get around to doing it I'll let you know.

I can do technical stuff Stars (I'm an engineer) , so we could easily set up a free hot-water system at your place, to begin with.

You need to get a tent though, because I'll want to borrow it, this one will do.....

You freaking pussy :chuckle: grow a pair, if my sensitive ass can sleep outside (rain, sun, wind, cold, warm, wet, dry) with no tent you can sleep outside with no tent. However, seeing as I am in a kind mood, specially if you show me which wires not to put together because I will be fried I can offer this (no promise on the size though)

Seriously though, I don't know what half the stuff they are talking about needing to build a part that goes to the solar panel is... and I did zap myself cleaning a light switch thing (I forgot to kill the power to the house before I stuck my hand in the outlet :emb: ) so if you could put it in stupid terms for me, that'd be lovely.

Nice box love.

Try your sensitive-ass (rain, sun, wind, cold, warm, wet, dry) with no tent, over here then.

But forget the sun, warm, and dry bits.

As for being "You freak­ing pussy grow a pair".......they are currently in storage.

:coffee: I have... you think I hauled a tent around with me in that "drive on the wrong side of the road country" of yours? :hahano: Got an almighty cold second time 'round too, allowed myself to stay inside a bed and breakfast inn thingy till I stopped coughing... once allowed myself to eat indoors off a plate just so I could listen to the waiter babble even though I didn't understand a word coming out of his mouth.

:facepalm: I'm sure everybody wanted to know they was in storage... if you'd like we can stick them in the storage shed out back, fair warning though, we have some pack rats living out there who like to carry stuff off.

that pic of the lady chowin down on me old man of Hoy is cropped. it therefore gives no sense of scale. iirc that lady was in the 2011 book of world records. she's the biggest mama on earth. over 8 feet tall...just a bit of trivia for ya.
