Solar is the future — and Solar Citizens are doing the work to make sure everyone can be part of it.

This event tackles a real gap in the system: renters and apartment residents who want cheaper, cleaner energy but are locked out of rooftop solar.

Community solar is a practical solution — cutting bills, lowering emissions, and making the energy transition fairer.

Well worth supporting.

🚲☀️ Build in Public – What Do You Reckon?

Just sharing a concept mock-up of the Solar Sound System Trike (Sunny Bins edition) alongside a real-world trike I’m looking at modifying.

This is the idea taking shape:

Base electric trike platform
Rear section converted to house the Sunny Bins speakers or be. seat for 2 extra passengers.
Lightweight solar roof with flexible panels
Solar only trickle-charging the 12V sound system
Main unit sourced internationally and then modified locally

The goal is a modular, rolling sound system — from small pop-ups to bigger community activations — all powered by people + sun.

Keen to hear what people think at this stage:
👉 Is this the right base vehicle?
👉 Any tips on trike handling / weight distribution?
👉 Solar + battery setup thoughts?

This is very much a build-in-public project, so your ideas can genuinely shape it.

If you’ve already chipped in — massive thanks 🙌
If you’re watching it come together — now’s the time to jump in.

Let’s build something real and get it on the streets. ☀️🚲🔊

Big shout out to everyone who’s chipped in so far — we’re already about one-eighth of the way to getting the trike on the road.

The plan from here is to bring it all together: the base vehicle, then the Sunny Bins sound system built into it, and a lightweight solar roof designed by a local maker — using flexible panels to trickle-charge the PA as we move.

The idea is a modular sound setup — from small, low-key community speaker array through to bigger sound-powered activations with subs on a trailer , depending on the mission.

This is about building something practical, visible, and a bit inspiring, powered by the sun and backed by the community.
