In-depth desert weapon: solar tent developed by the US military [picture]

The war is often in the desert where there is plenty of sunshine, but usually there is no power supply. The transportation of energy is both dangerous and inconvenient. How to solve this problem, environmental pollution-free solar energy naturally becomes the first choice. After many trials, the U.S. armed forces that had been trapped in the quagmire of the Afghan war have developed three new types of solar tents.

The U.S. names these three tents: TEMPER Fly, the QUADrant, and Power Shade. They are topped with a thin layer of soft, amorphous silicon that folds rather than the usual hard solar panels. According to the size of the paved area, the maximum power of this type of tent can reach 3000 watts, usually ranging from 200 watts to 800 watts, which can be used for daily use of various small electrical appliances, computers, etc. In areas with sufficient sunshine such as deserts, it can meet the daily power consumption of a small army. However, these tents are still in the experimental stage. Many details have not been disclosed, but its development prospects are very broad.
