SP&L’s Mobile Kiosk aims to be a hub for both distributing and collecting information at the many environmentally centric events that our team of education partners travel to across the state of Ohio.
 

SP&L’s mobile solar kiosk collects and stores information via visitors contributing to the ecosystem. By utilizing the interactive touch screen visitors can upload links and content pertaining to many different environmental subjects. This data can then be leveraged across the entire eco-system to educate visitors and provide a centralized network of information. To further educate, an optional questionnaire is available to visitors. Based upon questionnaire results; teaching, volunteering and/or contact information for local renewable energy professionals will be displayed for future opportunities.
 

We see the kiosk as a resource that can help interconnect and further empower Ohio’s eco-system of environmental programs, professionals, passionate youths, and volunteers.

SP&L’s mobile kiosk features:

  • Solar powered with battery backup

  • Does not require grid power

  • Can be used to recharge mobile devices such as cell phones and laptops

  • Touch screen user interface

  • Can be utilized indoors or outdoors

  • Delivered to your door
