V Plus is an emergency relief tent that solves some commonly experienced problems of disaster relief zones. It creates its own power via solar cells, and single tents can be interconnected to larger shelters.The V Plus tent tarp takes an obtuse triangular shape. Its exterior surface is composed of advanced flexible solar cells that generate enough power to satisfy the tent’s energy demands. Each tent can become an independent energy unit to effectively solve the energy issues in disaster areas. The tent frame incorporates LEDs to provide lighting. The lighting component is attached to the top of the support pole, and the unused solar energy is stored inbattery cells within the pole.
V Plus can be easily assembled and interconnected to meet the needs of the disaster site. Numerous tents can be combined to shelter large groups of people. In terms of distribution, V Plus is compact and lightweight, and therefore improves the efficiency of transportation while quickening the first-on-scene assistance. |
