Have you ever wanted to be able to recharge your smartphone simply by placing it on the table of your favorite bar? The French engineer Jérôme Dufaur-Dessus he must have wanted it so much: this is why he created Solar Top Charge. Things? It is a system that transforms any coffee table into a solar panel. An ingenious idea to power electronic devices and offer a little plus to customers in places open to the public.
An answer to the “bulimia” of recharging
You know, the world is increasingly connected. Smartphones, tablets and laptops have become real extensions, which often fail at the most beautiful moment. How many times have you found yourself with a dead phone just when you needed it? Or have you had to wander around a venue looking for a free outlet? Solar Top Charge wants to solve these problems, transforming every table into an always available charging station.
Our innovation responds to a growing need in the bar, hotel and restaurant industry, where customers are constantly looking for convenient ways to charge their electronic devices while enjoying their experience.

Small panels, great potential
But how exactly does Solar Top Charge work? The system consists of small solar panels to be integrated on the surface of a coffee table. Despite their small size, these modules are able to capture sunlight and transform it into enough electrical energy to charge a phone, smartwatch or Bluetooth headphones.
The real strength of Solar Top Charge is its ability to work even in less than optimal light conditions. In fact, Jérôme Dufaur-Dessus ensures that his panels can generate electricity even in indoor environments, not directly exposed to the sun. A feature that makes this invention suitable for any type of room or situation.

Solar coffee table, mh. Will it make its way?
The intuition of the French engineer has already received recognition in his homeland. Two, to be precise, in one of the most prestigious showcases for inventions innovative. Now, look for investors and business partners via a crowdfunding campaign to start production.
Will it work? Each such table, if the invention proves effective, can take us a small step towards a future in which the surfaces around us actively participate in the generation of clean electricity.
