First Energy Efficient ‘Solar Chamomile’ Launched in Kutaisi

In the historic center of the city of Kutaisi, Imereti region, the first energy efficient public garden was opened with a large metal structure, designed as three large flowers, which allows you to charge your computer, mobile phone and other electronic devices through USB. It was created according to modern technologies and equipped with solar panels.

The ‘Solar Chamomile’ collects the sun’s energy during daylight hours, which charges internal batteries that in turn charge users’ electrical devices.

Kutaisi City Hall announced that the first ‘solar chamomile’ installed in Georgia aims to encourage the use of green energy and an energy efficient lifestyle in Kutaisi and eventually throughout the country.

From September 2016, the same Kutaisi central garden will be fitted with a Wi-Fi hotspot and an electronic library where users can download digital books using QR codes.

The project was co-financed by Winrock International, United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Kutaisi City Hall and the Energy Efficiency Center of Georgia.
