The Central University of Technology has developed a prototype that allows students to charge their electronic devices on campus, through a solar-powered USB port.
A number of charging stations are placed at strategic points all over the Bloemfontein and Welkom campuses to ensure that students can recharge their phones whenever they need to and do not run out of battery power at a crucial time.
