\nShipping containers these days are being given a new lease to life, more like a retirement scheme after they\u2019re done serving at sea. Designers and architects have turned shipping containers into malls<\/a>, restaurants<\/a>, designer homes<\/a> and emergency makeshift homes<\/a> too! Now, a team of designers from Houston, Texas, have designed a self-sustained solar powered home, using a shipping container. This house, called the SPACE (Solar Powered Adaptive Container for Everyone), uses an up-cycled 20\u2019 x 8\u2019 container hooked on to a solar array that generates up to 5 kilowatts of electricity. The array pours the collected juice into a self-contained battery pack that works as a back-up for 5 days. The home also contains a renewable energy management system that prevents energy wastage and uses CFL and LED lighting and an air conditioning system.<\/p>\n


\nAlso, the SPACE home is completely transportable and can be deployed just about anywhere. Also, given that it\u2019s made from a shipping container, this one faces the elements with ease. A perfect structure for a portable office, a trailer park home or a kiosk, the SPACE is a perfect example of recycling, renewable energy use and eco-friendliness.
