In the peaceful setting of an outdoor lunch, a simple table is transformed into a silent energy producer. Things? It's a fusion of furniture and technology that could mark a small, but significant, step towards home energy self-sufficiency.
The German startup Technaxx offers us a concrete vision of this idea with its 400W solar table. It is not only a piece of outdoor furniture (which can accommodate up to eight diners), but it is also a plug-and photovoltaic system -play that can power the home network with 230V and cover the basic load of a house during the day.
Efficiency and design
With monocrystalline solar panels that boast a module efficiency of 20.97% and a maximum production of 410 W, the solar table is a small declaration of energy independence. Its ability to tilt at 20, 30 or 35 degrees allows you to maximize energy generation, adapting to sunlight conditions.
Nice, isn't it? The table also has wifi connectivity that allows it to transmit data to an app that tracks its activity. This means that you not only produce energy, but also provide constant feedback on the performance of your ecological investment.
The daily energy yield of the solar table varies from 1.04 to 1.37 kWh. The annual one can reach 380-500 kWh. And the installation? Surprisingly simple: just screw the legs to the aluminum frame.
Solar table: availability
At the moment, the solar table is only available in Germany priced at €951, an initial investment for a technology that promises to significantly reduce electricity bills over time. Although it is not yet available elsewhere, the concept behind this product nevertheless deserves world visibility, because it challenges us to integrate renewable energy into our daily lives in increasingly creative and functional ways.
In the future, every object will have a dual purpose: aesthetic and functional, while contributing to our energy independence. It is an example of how technology can be harmoniously integrated into the fabric of daily life, transforming even a simple lunch into an act of sustainability. Your opinion is valuable: would you consider purchasing such a product if it were available? Solutions of this type could they become the norm in the near future?
While waiting to read your comments, I leave you with a reflection: perhaps the time has come to reconsider not only how we consume energy, but also how we can produce it in ways that are increasingly "integrated" into our daily lives.
