The Campus Solar Charging Station combines solar technology, transportation infrastructure, and civic place-making, to provide the public an opportunity to recharge their mobile electronics, e-bikes or e-scooters. The station reimagines public space by providing a shaded seating area during the day and a vibrant, LED-lit space at night. Four solar panels and a battery bank extend the station’s charging capacity into the night. The station will serve as an off grid energy power supply and environmental information center, with interactive displays of the solar station operation and LED art display of local air quality.
