Three picnic tables on Temple's Main Campus have been outfitted with solar panels. The tables have umbrellas, decked out in Temple cherry and white, along with solar panels on top. "They power strips that surround the pole of the umbrella," said Jim Creedon, senior vice president for construction, facilities and operations. "If you need a quick charge on your phone, your laptop, your iPod, your iPad, you name it, you just plug it in right there."
