Lifelike Lighting Studies

Our team of lighting designers create an exact model that showcases how your bus stop illumination will appear at night. By determining how much light is needed, we ensure that your system is best designed and sized to reliably power the lights year-round. With expert advice on optimizing lighting for rider safety, we’re here to help you light the way.

Urban Solar’s team collaborating with University of Wisconsin-Madison students on innovative custom power solutions for bus stop amenities. We offer tailored custom lighting designs, solar-powered lighting and digital displays.

Innovative Custom Power Solutions

Ensure that any amenity you plan to deploy (lighting, displays, cameras, USB charging, emergency call buttons, etc.) is reliably powered and optimized for local solar conditions year-round.

We provide clear, step-by-step guidance, answering questions like “What size of solar array and battery capacity is needed to power the amenities I want at my stop?" and "How can a solar energy system seamlessly integrate into my shelter design?" Our team is here to help find the right system to make your vision a reality.

Comprehensive Structural Engineering Solutions

We partner with leading structural engineering firms to help you ensure that site infrastructure such as poles, footings, etc. are adequately sized to support solar power systems and other amenities. Stamped structural calculations are available in all states and provinces to comply with local code and permitting requirements.

Remote Site Surveys

Site surveys are vital in safeguarding an off-grid power investment. Just like an electric bus will not take you far without a full charge, any solar-powered amenity needs consistent solar exposure for reliable operation. We offer complimentary site surveys with every system sold to ensure that each system will receive adequate solar exposure (typically 2⁄3 of the day or more direct sun exposure). This is the most important step to ensure that your off-grid installations are set up for solar success.
