we featured the news release Sourcing solar products from

which says: "Zeta Solar's bus shelter lighting increases passenger security and the perception of safety for public transport users".
Take a look also at the news release from Korenix Technology, Solar Energy with Korenix Serial Device Server,
as well as Solar power applied to bollard lighting from Zeta Solar,
