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.
