Solar Bus Shelter Lighting

Illuminating bus shelters at night increases passenger security and the perception of safety for public transport users. Choosing a solar option means instant installation, no traffic disruption and eliminates the cost and delays associated with traditional power connection.
Most shelter manufacturers are now offering a solar lighting option and Sombrero is the supplier of choice for those who require an elegant and practical solution which is both cost effective and reliable.
Solar powered LED lighting systems from Sombrero give Local Authorities, Municipalities and Street Furniture Manufacturers the ability to install illuminated shelters wherever they are needed, including remote areas where power connection is not an option.

System Design Go to Top

A specially manufactured, vandal resistant, flexible solar panel is attached to the roof of the shelter which harnesses the sun’s energy throughout the day, this energy is stored by the long life AGM batteries. At dusk the innovative Energy Management System (EMS) releases the stored energy and uses it to power high intensity Light Emitting Diodes (LED’s).

The system maintains a constant low level of illumination until a passenger enters the shelter and activates the built in Passive Infra Red technology (PIR). The light levels will then gently increase and remain fully activated until the passenger has vacated the immediate area.
This clever design releases no emissions and saves energy whilst not compromising the comfort or security of public transport users.

Working Throughout the Winter Go to Top

The Zeta EMS contains the unique Energy Optimizer™ which is specifically designed to manage solar energy charge. The microprocessor based system monitors battery charge levels. When the charge is low the light output level is temporarily lowered to allow the charge to build up while ensuring constant illumination. This ability to regulate the output of the LED drivers ensures that the system operates at optimum performance throughout the winter period.
