While smartphones are certainly getting smarter, the average battery life is draining faster than ever. What good are all those clever apps and devices when your battery dies in the middle of a college campus, office complex, mall, or theme park?

Launching at the GreenBuild International Expo in Philadelphia, Nov. 20-22, CarrierClass Green Infrastructure introduces ConnecTableTM Solar Charging Stations. These robust commercial and residential power stations are available in cafe, picnic, and deck table forms and bring a unique perspective to today's techno-dependent consumers ever-present need to stay connected.

With seamless integration into a variety of landscapes, ConnecTables enhance the sustainability and traditional use of a variety of public spaces. They are also of growing interest to organizations that desire to deploy solar, reduce greenhouse gases, meet sustainability requirements, and improve their landscapes while showcasing their green image.

These fully engineered solar power charging and backup power systems are designed to accommodate a range of table design aesthetics, surface materials, and site design objectives.

They are an ideal enhancement for universities, city parks, outdoor malls, sports complexes, mixed-use developments, theme parks, and more. Multiple tables can be combined to form a micro grid and a backup power source during extended power outages.

Qualifying organizations may be eligible for low-interest financing of the tables through the Sustainable Energy Fund (www.thesef.org). Tables qualify for the 30% investment tax credit offered to businesses that install solar.[1],[2] Colleges can also use designated green funds to purchase tables.
