Solar Smart Bench with Charging and WiFi in College Garden

The increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions and smart infrastructure in educational institutions has motivated the development of innovative public utilities such as solar-powered smart benches. This paper presents the design and implementation of a Solar Smart Bench with charging and Wi-Fi facilities installed in the college garden. The system is designed to harness solar energy through photovoltaic (PV) panels, which supply power to a battery-based storage unit, ensuring continuous operation even during non-sunny hours. The bench integrates multiple features including USB charging ports, wireless charging pads, and a Wi-Fi router to provide students and visitors with uninterrupted digital connectivity and device charging in outdoor environments. Energy management is achieved using a solar charge controller to optimize battery charging and load distribution. In addition to functionality, the bench emphasizes environmental sustainability by reducing dependency on conventional electricity, promotin. the integration of solar-powered public facilities has become highly relevant. This paper introduces the design and implementation of a Solar Smart Bench installed in the college garden, providing both device charging and Wi-Fi connectivity. The system is powered by a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel, which stores energy in a battery bank through a solar charge controller for round-the-clock operation. The bench is equipped with USB charging ports, wireless charging pads, and a Wi-Fi router, allowing students and visitors to stay digitally connected in outdoor spaces
