This was a very interesting story about how Temple University installed solar powered charging stations at a number of outdoor locations on their campus. The charging stations are cost efficient and a great opportunity for students who always need to charge their devices. These charging stations are built into picnic tables on campus, with the solar panel installed in the umbrellas at the tables. The charging stations costs about $10,000. The tables are cost effective and they help educate students about the importance of going green.
My son attended Temple University and says these stations were very popular. I think it is a very forward-thinking and "green" solution to a problem of energy conservation. Everyone has devices to charge with them everyday and these charging stations will be very convenient for students to use as well.
