Bus stop with solar panels could power the whole house

Recently London has taken another big step towards a solar energy future. Polysolar, the company and Canary Wharf Group has introduced the first solar bus stop in the UK.

Lined with innovative transparent photovoltaic glass, solar bus stop can generate 2000 kilowatt-hours per year – the equivalent amount of electricity needed to power an average home in London.





Developed by Polysolar, in cooperation with a company specialized in small architectural forms, landscape architecture and street furniture, solar bus stop Marshalls proves that urban infrastructure can be functional, beautiful and innovative.





Modern and minimalist stop with a metal frame covered with viloobraznym roof to protect people from rain water and prevent dripping on the heads of visiting drivers.





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
