Solar-powered tent could be a festival must-have

Bang Bang Solar Tent

€306

Now here’s something to consider for your next festival run. A solar powered tent may seem like the utmost in silliness, but bear with us on this one. The Bang Bang solar powered tent promises not only to keep you sheltered from the elements this summer, but through the 5W solar powered panels built into it, to charge your phone, tablet and assorted battery powered gadgets. As long as they’re low voltage of course - don’t expect too much given that you’ll likely be pitching this tent in Ireland. In fact, the manufacturer itself recommends that you charge up the lithium ion battery over USB before you leave, and use the panel, which is held in place in a pouch on the top of the tent, to keep it topped up over the course of your trip.
