Living in the digitally connected world of constant communication the number of mobile phones and other portable multimedia devices is growing constantly. All those devices require a certain amount of energy to work and when the battery is empty it leads to an unpleasant situation.
The solution to that problem is the Solar Charger for Mobile Phones used in public busy places such as streets, parks and squares, when it is necessary. The invention like this can offer the citizens charge for their mobile devices when they need it most – they are far from home and stuck with a dead battery.
The Strawberry Tree is the public solar charger for mobile phones invented by a group of students from the University of Belgrade.
The invention was for the first time represented to Serbia and to the world in the October of 2010 when it was installed in The City Square in the centre of Obrenovac, Serbia. This technological giant, that regularly charges mobile phone batteries with clean and ecological energy produced from sun, represents the unique technological innovation. It is important to mention that for the short period of time it is already awarded in our country as well as abroad.
The team called Strawberry Energy invented, designed, and developed the project, and then constructed and installed the Solar Charger completely on their own. In the early period of the creation and work, the project was supported by the Business Technology Incubator of Technical Faculties Belgrade. The significance of the project was recognized by the Energy Efficiency Agency of Serbia.
