Objective
To demonstrate the feasability of pv power for isolated bus stops and public toilets in order to avoid installation of electric power lines.
The installations are operating.
Three types of equipment are used:
1.) Shelters at bus stops (288 W), 22x288,
2.) Poles at bus stops (4 W), 10*4,
3.) Public toilets (96 W), 3x96.
The equipment is prefabbricated and can be transported to the installation site by lorry with crane.
