Methods and systems provide for the creation of power and heated water utilizing a solar powered portable structure. According to embodiments described herein, solar radiation is used to heat a power generating bladder containing a heat transfer fluid. The heat transfer fluid within the power generating bladder is circulated through a heat exchanger to transfer heat from the heat transfer fluid to water stored in one or more water storage tanks, thereby heating the water. Solar radiation is also used to generate power by converting the solar radiation received by the power generating bladder to power using a photovoltaic material. The power may be provided for use and used to operate various components of the system. The power may also be stored in a battery. |
