Description
The Sunflower solar station (19.001) represents a pinnacle of modern urban furniture, blending sustainable energy technology with functional design. Designed by Wojciech Kapuścik, this innovative smart city solution serves as an essential hub for public spaces, parks, and transit areas. The structure is built with durability in mind, available in either high-quality carbon steel (S235JR) or premium stainless steel (AISI 304), ensuring long-term resistance to environmental factors. Its architectural form is topped with high-performance 100 W photovoltaic panels, providing a clean energy source for its integrated technological features. The tabletop is crafted from durable HPL, a material chosen for its weather resistance and aesthetic versatility, with options for custom logo milling to align with municipal or corporate branding.
Engineered for the connected user, the Sunflower solar station provides comprehensive charging capabilities, including a 10 W inductive charger and a suite of high-speed USB ports (two USB A 3.0 and one USB C 3.0). The system is powered by a reliable battery pack, available in either 36 Ah Gel or 40 Ah Lithium configurations, guaranteeing consistent performance across a wide operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C. For enhanced utility in public environments, the station can be equipped with a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi hotspot module, facilitating digital connectivity in open-air settings. Safety and usability during evening hours are addressed by integrated neutral white LED ambient lighting, which illuminates the surrounding area, reinforcing the station's role as a secure and welcoming piece of street furniture.
Flexibility in installation and configuration makes the Sunflower station a versatile addition to any infrastructure project. The unit is designed for secure mounting via bolting, ensuring stability in high-traffic pedestrian zones. Operators can further customize the station by incorporating an optional bicycle rack on the left or right side, seamlessly integrating cycling infrastructure into the design. With a total height of 99 1/2 inches and a sleek, compact footprint, it maximizes utility without overcrowding the public realm. By combining renewable energy generation with practical communication and charging tools, the Sunflower line exemplifies the future of smart urban furniture, providing citizens with the tools necessary to stay connected while promoting sustainable development in metropolitan areas.
