Lighting the future of safety and rider experience
Dark, unsafe and unwelcoming bus stops are now a thing of the past.
Since our founding in 2008, we have helped transit agencies enhance over 25,000 bus stops across the United States and Canada with off-grid lighting, real-time information digital displays and other passenger amenities.
As North America's leading manufacturer of solar energy systems for bus stops and bus shelters, we continue to transform the transit experience, ensuring safety, accessibility and a welcoming environment for all riders.
Our reach and impact

Today, we provide a variety of bus stop amenities ranging from solar lighting to digital displays, ad box kits, security cameras and more. Our systems have proven their reliability, with many of our systems in operation for well over a decade.
