One helluva “smart” bench, this

This article was 1st published on our sister Site, Digital World Native.

As smartphones become even smarter, there’s a problem that keeps growing for the user. In order to sustain the higher functionalities of these smart devices a compromise has to be made on battery life. The latest phones with 5G connections have an even shorter average battery life. The need thus is for an energy efficient, clean & cheap solution that will help people charge their phones while on the go. Add free WiFi access & free information services readily available in public venues to that & what you have got is Strawberry Energy’s innovative smart bench.

These solar benches are installed in public places, & come with inbuilt solar panels & WiFi. They are strategically placed in densely populated metropolitan areas providing clean & inexhaustible energy free of charge for people to charge their mobile devices while on the road. The solar panels that power these benches are built into the benches themselves or on a nearby pavement.

Strawberry Energy has already installed the solar benches across 17 countries, & is currently looking to expand its services into the Middle East countries & across London. According to Milos Milisavljevic, Founder & CEO, the idea to start Strawberry Energy was born during his high school days. After some lectures on renewable energy, he identified a growing need for efficient renewable energy as the use of mobile phones increases.
