California State University System Adds Solar Benches
The California State University System added solar-powered benches at California State University – Channel Islands.
The benches were added by Bluebolt Outdoor LLC, a division of Blue Outdoor, which continues its partnership with California State University System, according to a statement.
Additional installations during the first quarter in 2025 are scheduled at CSU-San Marcos, Antelope Community College, Solano Community College, Lassen College, Colorado State University-Pueblo, Illinois Eastern Community Colleges and many others.
The solar benches are provided to the university at no cost and offer students, faculty and visitors a convenient place to rest equipped with device-charging capabilities and powered by the sun.
The Bluebolt solar bench operates entirely off the grid and uses solar power stored in a lithium battery. This configuration allows for four wireless charging pads and four hardwired locations. In addition, the benches provide campus lighting in the evening and have enough stored power to last up to five days.
Each bench features two backlit advertising panels, offering an opportunity for strategic partners to engage with students and faculty. Bluebolt manages all aspects of the program, including advertising sales within university approved categories, allowing for additional revenue generation while providing free solar benches to the campus community.
