Smart solar-powered benches could be erected at Bahrain’s gardens, parks, walkways and coasts, if councillors have their way.
The Muharraq Municipal Council has unanimously approved a proposal by Muharraq Governorate constituency three (Bahrain International Airport area) councillor Abdulqader Al Sayed to set up the new benches at public recreational facilities across the country.
Bapco Energies has already installed 100 such benches that are powered by solar panels. Some of them even include solar controllers, smart inverters, WiFi advertising routers, USB fast chargers, wireless charger holder, bluetooth speaker and built-in LED energy-saving lamps.
