LEH — Ladakh based engineer, Sonam Wangchuk, who is known for his innovations, has developed the world’s first solar-heated military tent to help the troopers in forward areas that witness freezing temperature during winters.

The tent is believed to reduce the expenses and help the troopers in maintaining warm temperature.

The tent also eliminates the chances of pollution, use of kerosene, and emission while it will need only sunlight, water, and insulated layers to maintain the temperature. The tent will accommodate 8 to 10 soldiers at a time.

In a video, Wangchuk said that with the deployment of troopers in snow-capped mountains having a freezing temperature, government spends lakhs on Kerosene that not only leads to pollution but also results in the death of soldiers due to below-freezing temperature.

He stated that after developing a solar-heated system for homes in the last 30 years, he has developed a solar tent, which was earlier being used by the nomads living in remote areas some 15 years back. Sonam said it took him nearly a month to make the tent.

“The tent contains a greenhouse and lets sunlight in towards the highly insulated sleeping chamber. Wind sheet waterproof has been used at the top,” he said.

“It has two parts that include a sleeping chamber and the other is a solar lunge for rest. The sleeping chamber wall serves as a heat bank to be used for the night,” he added.

He said that the temperature in the sleeping chamber is expected to be between 10 to 15 degrees Celsius.

“Every part of the tent won’t weigh more than 30 kilograms so it can be moved from one place to another easily,” Wangchuk said.

“The tent has been designed considering the need for security forces. The tent will cost Rs. 5 lakh,” he said.

Notably, Sonam Wangchuk is known as an Indian engineer, innovator, and education reformist based in Ladakh UT.
