SOLA Self-sufficient energy

Eva Hotz

SOLA Autarke Energie is a mobile system for autarchic energy and water supply during ecological expeditions. Consisting of a foldable solar textile, a removable battery and UV water-filtering technology, it can be used for the storage and conversion of solar energy, as well as UV-based water disinfection. Weighing only 800g, it can be deployed in a freely suspended state or lying flat. Disassembly and repair is straightforward, and the system can be reduced to a tenth of its size thanks to the folding mechanism.
