FULL CHARGE - BURNING MAN SOLAR & SUSTAINABILITY MEETUP

​A GATHERING ON ABUNDANT ENERGY

​Camp builders, tinkerers, and solarheads unite to power the Burn with sun and smarts

​Knowledge exchange, demos, & sustenance

​A panel + Q&A on solar systems, sustainability, and energy independence on the playa

​Join us for a knowledge-packed gathering of tinkerers, engineers, artists, and solar enthusiasts who are reshaping what power looks like at Burning Man.

​This meetup will feature a short panel discussion with seasoned Burners who’ve successfully built solar-powered art installations, off-grid infrastructure for large camps, and mobile charging solutions. We’ll dive into what’s worked, what’s failed, and what’s possible when creativity meets renewable energy in one of the harshest environments on Earth.
