 SOLeisure encourages people to get outside by providing a electronic charging station. The solar powered lounge chairs convert the sun’s energy to electricity to power your cell phone or laptop. A display gauge tells the user how much solar energy is available. The lounge chairs are ergonomically designed and have a flexible sheet of photovoltaic cells on the top to capture sunlight. A surge protector can allow multiple users to recharge at once, welcoming groups and encourage conversations. The design is inherently beautiful and will add a natural, artistic aspect to Southwestern’s already beautiful campus. The lounges will blend in with the surrounding area while also adding a touch of modern charm. More importantly, the chairs provide the campus with a renewable option for charging their devices that remains off the grid where coal power and other nonrenewable energy sources provide electricity.
