Why Transit Agencies Are Deploying Solar technology –

Transit vehicles continue drawing power even when parked. Cameras, passenger information systems, fare collection equipment, Wi-Fi, air purification systems, and telematics can all place constant demands on vehicle batteries.

Merlin Solar helps offset parasitic battery loads by generating power throughout the day, helping agencies:

  • Reduce dead battery incidents
  • Extend battery life
  • Reduce jump starts
  • Improve fleet readiness
  • Lower maintenance costs
  • Support sustainability initiatives

Transit bus applications specifically include battery maintenance, lot-rot prevention, auxiliary HVAC support, Wi-Fi systems, USB charging, air purification systems, and electric bus integration.
