Description
The Sunflower solar charging station, model 19.001, represents a pinnacle of modern urban furniture, seamlessly integrating renewable energy technology with high-quality craftsmanship. Designed by Wojciech Kapuścik, this multifunctional smart city solution serves as an efficient hub for mobile device power while providing an aesthetic landmark for contemporary public spaces. The structure is built upon a robust frame available in either durable carbon steel (S235Jr) or high-grade stainless steel (AISI 304), ensuring long-term resilience against environmental factors. The aesthetic appeal is further enhanced by a sophisticated HPL (High Pressure Laminate) top, which can be personalized with a milled logo, offering a bespoke branding opportunity for municipalities or private investors.
Functionality is at the core of the Sunflower design, which features a 100 W photovoltaic system that powers an advanced array of charging utilities. Users can access a wireless inductive charger (10 W) alongside two USB-A 3.0 ports and one USB-C 3.0 port, all supporting Quick Charge technology to ensure rapid power delivery. To maintain consistent performance regardless of solar availability, the unit is equipped with a high-capacity energy storage system, offering a choice between 36 Ah gel batteries or 40 Ah lithium batteries. The integration of a Wi-Fi hotspot, operating on 2.4 GHz with 3G/4G connectivity, transforms this piece of street furniture into a vital communication node, fostering connectivity in parks, transit hubs, and commercial plazas.
The Sunflower charging station is engineered for durability and ease of integration into existing landscapes, featuring a permanent installation method via bolts secured to a concrete foundation. Measuring 253 cm in height with a functional table surface at 116 cm, the station is ergonomically designed for pedestrian convenience. Beyond its primary charging functions, the unit provides atmospheric value through integrated neutral white LED lighting, which ensures visibility and safety during evening hours. Optional configurations, such as the inclusion of a bicycle rack on either the left or right side, further enhance the utility of this solar charging station, allowing for a versatile installation that meets the specific requirements of any modern, sustainable infrastructure project.
