SOLAR SHELTER
For worker community in India 35% of the world’s energy is consumed on construction sites. Solar shelter aims to generate electricity with the help of PV integrated roof and minimize the energy demands throughout the construction process. Further, it also provides a habitable shelter for the workers. The roof can be manually oriented to the most efficient sun angle throughout the year to maximize energy gains.
