The SolarFi pods are solar powered and range in size to accommodate from two to 10 people. They are each uniquely decorated and include medical-grade hepa air filters and USB charging ports. They are 100 percent UV resistant and made from 100 percent recycled material. SolarFi partners with restaurants by offering lease, or revenue share opportunities, according to the company.
