Eco Factor: Solar-powered mobile home for Vodafone.
Vodafone is promoting its fixed phone and wireless internet service using a transparent mobile home that is powered entirely by the energy of the sun that is harnessed through roof-mounted photovoltaic panels. Designed by Waskman Design Studio, with Creative Space Culdesac, the home is currently being occupied by a blogger and his family of wife and two children, who are presently using the mobile home for a vacation.
Since the home has no built-in propulsion system, carrying it around town won’t be an ecofriendly affair. However, with lightweight construction that includes walls made of white polyethylene panels and a transparent polycarbonate structure, the mobile home doesn’t add much weight to the four-wheel-drive vehicle, which is used to tow the home. The 6m long and 2.5m wide home is divided into two floors, with a modernized interior and a well-equipped bedroom.
