    The Sunny Bins Solar Cinema

    On Sunday 30th October 2016 Sunny Bins launched its Solar Cinema, off grid movies under the stars, well actually under a marquee as it was raining. Luckily the batteries were fully charged so no sun was needed to run the show. A few brave souls ignored the rain and rocked up at ‘The Save Sydney Park’ camp for the night. The community blockade camp having stalled destruction in one part of Sydney Park had recently moved to it’s new location on the corner of Euston rd and Campbell rd in order to put more pressure on the disastrous Westconnex project.
    The Lorax was screened, Halloween Pumpkins created and a great night had. The whole event was be run by the new crowdfunded Sunny Bins Solar buggy that ran a Solar Stage at the Northern Beaches Music Festival the previous weekend.
    The night was a test to see if it could run a cinema and it passed with flying data projected colours.

    Check out the slideshow of the night and stay tuned for more Solar Cinemas in the future…

  • Bendigo Community Farmers Market and Queanbeyan Councils get new generation Sunny Bins

    Sunny Bins have created a sound system package that caters for a number of needs of a small community P.A, our new bins are now more developed than they have ever been.

    Chris Corr from the Bendigo Community Farmers Market on a trip to Sydney saw one of our fleet at the Sydney Park Kiosk and put in a grant application to order a new one from Sunny Bins complete with handmade fruit themed speaker surrounds that they supplied.
    The grant was given from the local Bendigo Council and a Sunny Bin and Australian made Ashton wireless mic units were ordered. With hand held, lapel and headphone mics, a mini mixer and on-board battery charging equipment the solar sound system bin can cater for a variety of uses.

    It was great to see the Market use the bin not only for playing music but also for enabling the amplification of a cooking demo and children’s story session. They also plan to use it for live musicians to play their sets through.
    Rather than use a courier we opted to deliver the bin in person and meet the local community in Bendigo and the council at Queanbeyan. Covering 1500k’s in two and half days the two bins were hand delivered. We look forward to hearing how the units go over time in the two communities.
