Solar tent for medical uses in the field
View Patent ↗The solar tent comprises a canopy tent with integrated solar panels into the roof of a medical tent design. This technology allows the tent to capture solar energy, and convert it into electrical energy which can then be used to power lights, medical devices, and other equipment. This technology is foldable and collapsible to allow the tent to be both deployed and stored rapidly. The solar tent helps medical professionals overcome the challenges of lack of sufficient electricity while operating from a canopy tent, in the face of COVID-19.
