Re-CHARGE is a deployable solar charging station for electric vehicles with an inbuilt cafe/restaurant. This is very useful in areas where there are very few resources available and mobile services are need to be set up. Re-CHARGE has 2 main variations on the account of type of solar panel used. The traditional silicon based panels use telescopic method for its deployment whereas the new thin film panels use Waterbomb Tessellation for its easy usage. A 28 kWh system is built which is sufficient to charge either 80 four wheelers or around 165 two wheelers, based on Indian solar power received.

Exploring deployable geometries from nature because who is a better teacher than nature and it's phenomenons.
Case study of a deployable household object helped us in unfolding it in a different way.
Understanding Linkage mechanisms helped with proper joinery understanding and exploration.
Case Study of a real life deployable structure, it's usage, advantages and disadvantages.
Combining all the previous knowledge and creating a solution for an ongoing problem, faced in the real life.
