Inside Sonam Wangchuk’s ‘Viral’ Solar-Heated Tent for the Indian Army

Exhibiting its insular properties in his tweet, Sonam noted how temperatures inside the tent stood at +15 degrees Celsius at 10 pm on a day when the minimum temperature outside was -14 degrees Celsius. Besides offering more space than the container cabins the Indian Army uses for its soldiers, this structure requires no kerosene for heating purposes and thus emits zero pollution into the environment.

This tent is a solar-passive structure that is portable, prefabricated and can be assembled on the spot.
