12 benches with solar modules appeared on the territory of Volyn National University named after Lesya Ukrainka. They allow you to charge smartphones, tablets and other gadgets thanks to the built-in USB output.
There are 4 USB ports on each bench that allows you to charge several devices at a time. Specialized energy technologies, which won a tender worth UAH 462 thousand, was installed. Although such projects have already been implemented in Ukraine, for example, the first bench with a solar panel in Kiev has been installed in 2016, they have not yet become widespread.
Due to the low power of the panels, the payback of such benches will be long. However, students and locals will receive a convenient energy source, which can be especially useful when switching off electricity.
