First it was the solar-powered calculator that entered our homes so easily; now we might be eating dinner off the Panasonic Solar Table. Unveiled during the 2011 Security Show in Tokyo, the Panasonic Solar Table not only harnesses energy from sunlight, it also boasts a wireless power transmission station to act as a wireless charging pad for portable devices.
Although there isn't much information about the Panasonic Solar Table other than it being equipped with QI Wireless Power transmission technology, it will be available later this year or early next year with a set of dedicated QI Batteries. See more images of the table above.
