Queens College has become the first CUNY location to feature a solar kiosk, an off-grid solar-powered recharging point that doubles as an outdoor study, seating or eating spot. The kiosk, or Solar Dok, has four solar panels totaling 235Watts and provides recharging for four 110V power outlets as well as two USB ports. The college intends to install further Doks and similar off-grid recharging stations around campus in the near future.
