Description
The Universe solar charging station (19.055), designed by Filip Babiarz, represents a breakthrough in smart city infrastructure, seamlessly integrating modern technology with functional urban furniture. This multifunctional station is engineered for durability and longevity, featuring a robust construction available in either powder-coated carbon steel (S235JR) or high-grade stainless steel (AISI 304). The design includes a comfortable seating area, offered in premium choices such as soft wood, oil-finished hard wood, or hardwood of European origin. With a height of 267 cm and a width of 128 cm, this piece serves as both a practical resting spot and a high-tech energy hub, making it an essential component for contemporary public spaces, parks, and city centers.
Equipped with state-of-the-art power solutions, the Universe station utilizes a 118 W photovoltaic panel to harness solar energy, which is stored in a reliable 55 Ah gel or 40 Ah lithium battery pack. Users can charge their mobile devices using two integrated inductive chargers or four USB 3.0 Quick Charge ports (two USB A and two USB C). To ensure optimal functionality around the clock, the station features efficient neutral white LED ambient lighting. Furthermore, the unit can be customized with advanced connectivity and entertainment features, including a Wi-Fi hotspot (2.4 GHz, 3G/4G) and high-quality sound modules such as Bluetooth speakers or units with built-in memory, ensuring it meets the dynamic demands of modern residents.
Installation of this street furniture element is secured via bolts directly to the foundation, ensuring stability and safety in heavy-traffic pedestrian zones. The Universe collection offers significant flexibility through its modular configuration options, which allow for the addition of bicycle racks on either the left or right side, further enhancing its utility in urban furniture layouts. Operating efficiently within a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C, this smart city solution is designed to withstand diverse climate conditions while maintaining its aesthetic appeal. By combining sustainable energy production with ergonomic design, the Universe solar charging station provides a sophisticated answer to the increasing need for accessible digital infrastructure in the public realm.
