Glass is tinted to reduce sun glare; transparent photovoltaic glass can generate pure energy even in cloudy weather.

Electricity generated will be used to ensure the operation of smart pointers and other nearby electric facilities.





"Solar bus stop not only demonstrates the functionality, performance and aesthetics of our photovoltaic glass, but is a clear application of innovations," said Hamish Watson (Hamish Watson), the founder and CEO of Polysolar.





"The use of photovoltaic glass in the whole of the transport industry in London, such as bus stops, sheds for electric charging, sidewalks and bike parks, can have a significant impact on reducing harmful emissions in the city, without damage to the environment, architecture or budget." published
