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 energy through its solar panels and
wind turbine.
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.

3. 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, such as lights, gadgets,
refrigerators, and other electric-appliances and devices.
