In this study, we examine the innovative integration of energy storage and solar PV systems within bus depots, demonstrating a viable strategy for uniting the renewable energy and public transport sectors. We demonstrate a case of transforming public transport depots into profitable future energy hubs.
Several European cities have successfully implemented solar-powered bus stops, demonstrating the practical benefits of this sustainable urban innovation. In Barcelona, Spain, a network of 100 solar bus stops installed in 2019 now powers digital displays, USB charging ports, and LED lighting while generating excess energy for the city grid.
Modern solar-powered bus stops utilize specialized photovoltaic panels designed specifically for urban infrastructure integration. These panels are typically monocrystalline or high-efficiency polycrystalline modules, carefully selected for their optimal performance in limited space conditions.
To transform public transport depots into energy hubs, we leverage the air temperature, solar irradiance and building rooftop surface area at bus depots to simulate the hourly solar PV output power at each bus depot throughout 2020 in Beijing.
In Barcelona, Spain, a network of 100 solar bus stops installed in 2019 now powers digital displays, USB charging ports, and LED lighting while generating excess energy for the city grid. The project has reduced municipal energy costs by 30% and improved passenger satisfaction rates by 85%.
As cities continue to evolve, the integration of solar panels on bus stops represents a significant step towards the realization of smart, sustainable urban environments. These structures serve as a model for innovative transit infrastructure that prioritizes efficiency, convenience, and environmental responsibility.
