If you are heading to Glastonbury and don’t have a solar charger (or of course, it rains), and you need to recharge your mobile, you may want to head to the Orange Recharge Pod. Inside are mini-lockers where you are able to lock your phone into whilst it recharges, so you don’t have to stand there. The tent has 500watt solar panels and a 500watt wind turbine, which Orange are hoping will allow them to recharge upto 100 devices an hour. No mention as to whether or not Orange will recharge your phone for free, but we applaud the idea, and hope that such recharge tents can become regular fixtures at a whole range of events.
