POWERMOD
Austin-based company FTL Solar devised a solution to transport large amounts of fuel safely and efficiently to help victims of natural disasters . The PowerMod solar tent avoids hazards of spills , combustion , and contamination from fuel transport accidents . Built from quality fabric and thin-film solar cells , the durable yet flexible 20x20 ’ panel doubles as a shelter and generator , producing roughly 5 kwh / day . Tent assembly takes roughly 15 minutes and two people .
Once set up , the PowerMod supplies clean , carbon-free energy to power lights , air conditioners , fans , portable electronics , and other crucial devices . While the PowerMod has yet to see widespread adoption , it ’ s certainly an idea worth building upon .
