Revolutionary Powersol Makes Debut

By Danielle Wirsansky on July 14, 2016

There are often parts of a college campus that are barely visited and under utilized. In such a technology based society, these areas are often underutilized because of a lack of Wi-Fi or electrical outlet with which to charge devices. But this is about to change!

Zon Inc., which is women founded, women managed, and made in America, is rolling out the Powersol and it is about to change college campuses across America. The Powersol is a mobile device charging station that is solar powered and is also built into commercial grade patio umbrellas, according to a recent press release.

Charlie Egan, co-chair of the UNC Chapel Hill student government’s Renewable Energy Social Projects Committee, said this after purchasing 19 Powersols for the campus:

“In today’s society, one thing we just can’t seem to live without is our phone. Wherever we are, our phones keep us connected. In desperate times of low battery, indoor outlets are traditionally the only place to turn. However, thanks to ZON’s Powersol solar umbrella, desperate times can now be enjoyed outdoors, in the warm sunlight, with the company of your friends. The Powersol solar umbrella offers innovative solar energy technology paired with a battery charging station to allow students the opportunity to charge their phones while sitting at a picnic table outside. Not only does this unique product meet the phone-charging needs of students, but it also serves as a great example of the practical application of solar energy to raise energy awareness on your university campus.”

The Powersol will be presented at the APPA Annual Conference for Higher Education Facilities Managers in Nashville, July 11-13, 2016, where managers will gather to identify and discuss the most current and pressing challenges facing educational facilities, and determine the common path forward. You can try out the Powersol for yourself at booth 8001.
