The Solar Shell has been in the works for a while, getting the right components have been an ongoing effort. The concept is an active shelter vs a static shelter...powered by the Sun, Convective Movements, Temperature Differences, orientation, the End User, G1 Thermal Radiator, photovoltaics, etc... At aprox. 1 lbs it can be used in different ways but the idea is to harvest passive and active energies.

Badger Orion as it wains to the West this time of year has been a companion for a while now.
