Brooklyn-based Sudia Lab’s outdoor PV table

by jonathansoroko on June 28, 2009

The Sun Table - which has no moving parts, adjustable stainless-steel legs - and whose wooden frame is made of teak - comes with an inverter and internal battery. Four hours of direct sunlight, according to Sudia, will yield enough energy to use a laptop for hours via the battery. (Use the laptop at/on the table on a sunny day, and the the useful life will be more than four hours, of course).

The current price is $2,200 and ships within 4 - 6 weeks of order.Our quick calculations suggest that - deductibility aside - this would knock about $30 per month from a New York City residential electric bill.
