These solar sails serve multiple functions! Installed for a corporate event, these highboys provided space to eat and hide from the summer sun. The event was a success and the highboys provided charging stations for the attendees to charge their cell phones.
Pvilion is excited to offer our Solar Event Tents for temporary and semi-permanent applications. Leveraging our 30+ years of experience with the U.S. Army, Pvilion has developed a solar-powered fabric skin that is easily adaptable for small and large fabric structures. Lightweight and easy to install, this remote power solution will provide shade and reliable charging for your cell phones, tablets computers and batteries.
Whether you are hosting a large outdoor event or enjoying some off-grid camping, our Solar Event Tents have you covered.
Pvilion built and installed the solar canopies at Yankee Pier to provide shade for passengers waiting for the ferry to Brooklyn, and to power the lighting that turns the canopies into a Governors Island icon at night – visible from Brooklyn, and for a mile up and down the East River. These economical, multi-year solar frame tents were constructed for a budget comparable to that of renting commercial tents for one season.
The colorful fabric solar panels are attached to the canopy fabric and frame in a playful “zig-zag” pattern. Pedestal platforms high up on the metal frame support the battery boxes that store the solar electricity that powers the LED RGB lighting bars suspended from the top of the frame.
