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:
