The Solarkiosk
functions like a small, local business that allows customers to charge their own phone batteries, have access to the internet, or just watch a soccer match. The kit design is flexible enough to be set up anywhere. The smallest sizes of the SOLARKIOSK are 2×3 and 3×3 meter cubes, and can be extended according to demand.
