High-tech shack brings solar power to slums

People are calling it the iShack, it is an alternative approach to housing for slum areas. The iShack

has been tested in the windswept slum of Enkanin, South Africa.

The iShack gathers electricity by using solar panels. It is capable of producing enought electricity to

power three lights, a mobile phone charger and an outdoor motion detector spotlight. It is made of

recycled cardboard boxes and old tetra pak containers for insulation and is painted with flame retardant

paint to reduce the risk of temperature change.
