Now here’s a truly effective and innovative energy saving idea that’s generating a lot of enthusiasm. Sol Cinema – the world’s smallest solar-powered movie theatre, which gives you the option to enjoy movies in a more sustainable and eco-friendly manner.
Situated in Kent, UK, this unique effort being funded by the media arts charity group Undercurrents, is being promoted to spread awareness on climate change issues and solar power energy.
This one-of-a-kind movie theatre is in fact a recycled two-berth 1960s caravan powered by four large lithium ion batteries that are charged by two 120W solar panels. It can seat upto eigth adults or about 12 children. Since its inception Sol Cinema has travelled around the country showcasing documentary and short-films on green issues. Earlier in the year, the cinema was used at Ramsgate town’s new Summer Squall Arts Festival, where it screened a number of local documentary films.
A fun movie-going experience, Sol Cinema is stocked with a rare collection of quirky movies, music videos and short films with stirring environment themes.
An inspiring effort, Sol Cinema is the perfect example of what can be done on a small scale by individuals and institutions to tackle climate change.
