Christopher Hornor, CEO of Better Energy Systems commented: "Having the ability to harness the sun’s power at a festival is not only environmentally friendly, but also makes sense to festival goers as they can keep their mobile phones and iPods charged. Running out of power will no longer be a problem.”

Mobile communications and portable music devices are no longer limited to their internal battery supplies. Festival goers can enjoy keeping in touch with the outside world via their mobiles and can host their own parties well into the night after the main stages are in darkness, with their personal music powered by the Solio in ‘tentland’. And no more is your phone needed than to let your buddies know you’ve just seen their tent floating away through a flooded field.
