Description
The Sunflower solar station (19.001) represents a pinnacle of modern urban furniture, merging sustainable energy technology with functional design. Designed by Wojciech Kapuścik, this smart city solution serves as a versatile hub for public spaces, parks, and city centers. The structure features a robust frame crafted from either carbon steel (S235JR) or high-grade stainless steel (AISI 304), ensuring long-term durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions. Topped with a high-pressure laminate (HPL) surface, the station provides a sleek, weather-resistant workspace or rest area, standing at a table height of 45 3/4 inches, which is ideal for comfortable use in a standing position or with stools.
Engineered for high-traffic environments, the Sunflower solar station integrates advanced technology to support contemporary digital lifestyles. It features a high-efficiency 100 W photovoltaic panel system that powers a comprehensive charging suite, including a 10 W inductive charger and multiple USB ports—two USB A 3.0 and one USB C 3.0—ensuring rapid power delivery for various mobile devices. The unit is equipped with a high-capacity battery pack (available in 36 Ah Gel or 40 Ah Lithium variants) and offers optional connectivity features, such as a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi hotspot module. For added visibility and aesthetic appeal, the station includes integrated neutral white LED lighting, which provides subtle ambient illumination during evening hours, enhancing safety in pedestrian zones.
As a leading piece of street furniture, the Sunflower is highly customizable to fit specific municipal or corporate requirements. The base can be securely anchored via a screw-in mounting method, providing maximum stability. Users may also choose to integrate a side bicycle rack on either the left or right side, further increasing the functionality of the installation. Branding options are available through personalized HPL milling, allowing for the inclusion of logos or municipal emblems directly into the tabletop. With an operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C, the Sunflower solar station is a reliable, future-proof addition to any smart city infrastructure, fostering community engagement and providing essential services in open, sun-exposed public areas.
