Snow Koan Solar
What we do on the playa as our camp participation.
Panels
Providing Solar Power on a Large Scale
For the last 5 years Snow Koan Solar has continually expanded it's solar work on the playa. We started out in 2006 providing 3-4 artists with power, as well as having a small 10-panel array at camp for a single refrigerator.
In 2011 we are powering 26 art projects as well as the entire Nectar Village. We'll have one large array in camp and another one out on the open playa near the Man.
All of Nectar Village will be powered from the array at camp. We are also powering other villages camped near us.
Lastly, our in-camp array will also serve as the basis for a recharging station where people from all over Black Rock City can bring anything they need to charge up, from a camera battery to an electric art car.

Cones
Snow Cones, Music and Conversation
Each day our camp hosts a snow cone cocktail party during the late afternoon. We have a dome with seating, a sound system and proper snow cone-making technology. Part of your camp fee goes to procuring a wide assortment of syrups, alcoholic additives, cups and ice.
These cocktail parties are a great way to meet other Burners and have fun with fellow camp members. There is the ritual of procuring the ice, prepping the dome, making and serving the cones and clean-up afterwards. For people new to the camp or to Burning Man, it’s a great way to jump in get involved with zero preparation before your arrival on the playa.
