The sCarabane travel trailer, developed by France’s Fillon Technology from 2013 to 2017, is now being finished by Green Cat Technologies as the dream for every renewable energy enthusiast. A tiny house that allows going completely off the grid while enjoying the advantages of modern technology, the sCarabane can be a full home.

Utilizing several renewable energy technologies, including a 500W rooftop solar array, a solar concentrator with a sun-tracking parabolic mirror for producing hot water, and a pop-up 500W vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT).

To be fully self-sufficient, the next step is the implementation of a rainwater collection and filtration system for clean water.
