1. A method of providing a second rigid shelter comprising a solar powered electricity supply circuit, in which an external surface of said second rigid shelter presents photovoltaic material, said method comprising the steps of:
a) receiving disassembled parts obtained from the disassembly of a modular assembly shelter apparatus configurable into a first assembled configuration providing a rigid shelter including a solar powered electricity supply circuit in which an external surface of said rigid shelter presents photovoltaic material, wherein said modular assembly shelter apparatus comprises: a base element, a roof element, a plurality of corner elements, and a plurality of wall elements, each of said wall elements being configured to be detachably connected between and to said base element and said roof element and to be detachably connected to one or more other wall element; wherein in use said rigid shelter comprises: a floor, a roof, and a plurality of walls, and wherein said solar powered electricity supply circuit comprises: a photovoltaic solar connector comprising photovoltaic material, an electricity storage device for storing electricity generated from solar energy received by the photovoltaic solar collector, electrical circuit componentry, and a utility panel; said modular assembly shelter apparatus being configurable from a portable unit configuration into said first assembled configuration providing said rigid shelter, including said solar powered electricity supply circuit in which the external surface of said rigid shelter presents the photovoltaic material, wherein a first external shelter element comprises solar energy collector cells that form part of said first external shelter element, b) providing the modular assembly shelter apparatus comprising said disassembled parts received at step a), and c) configuring said modular assembly shelter apparatus provided at step b) into a second assembled configuration providing a rigid shelter comprising the solar powered electricity supply circuit, in which a second external surface of said second rigid shelter presents the photovoltaic material, wherein the second external shelter element of the second rigid structure comprises the solar energy collector cells that form part of the first external shelter element. |
