For many of us, summer means many outdoor activities and overnight adventures. Whether you are heading to a music festival or family camping trip, “roughing it” out in the woods may never be the same again!   The Orange Solar Concept Tent won’t be your average run-of-the mill tent.  This tech-savvy tent is sure to be a camper’s dream-come-true.

As the name suggests, the tent is solar.  The energy from the sun will provide heating, lighting, recharging and communication to the tent.  Instead of using traditional solar panels to capture the sun’s energy, the tent is fitted with a revolutionary material.  The photovoltaic fabric is made by weaving specially coated solar threads into an outer fabric.  The three glides can be easily adjusted and rotated to capture the most sunlight and maximize efficiency.

Besides being solar powered, the tent is equipped with 3G wireless too!  Since most of us are joined at the hip with all sorts of electronic devices, this is great news!   The central wireless control hub provides the wireless signal and displays the energy level on a flexible LCD screen.  The hub also includes a nifty wireless charging pouch for portable devices.  Instead of having to fiddle with all those messy cords, just drop your device into the pouch.  That’s it!

And you won’t have to sleep on a cold, damp floor either.  This tent includes a heated groundsheet that automatically starts to warm up when the temperature goes down below a certain temperature.

Since many tents tend to look alike, this particular tent features something awesomely cool.  If you are out for a walk or picnicking by the lake and you can’t locate your tent, just send an SMS message or use the RFID technology and the tent will glow with “Glo-cation”  technology.   So no more worries about sleeping in the wrong tent!

The only downside?  True to its name, the Solar Concept Tent is still a concept and is not available – yet.
