A new kind of solar cell is providing light at a McMaster University bus shelter. Researchers at the Hamilton (ON) university have developed flexible solar strips that can fit the curved roof of a bus shelter. “Our goal is to provide a clean, affordable power source for bus shelters that will let transit companies run Internet-based scheduling updates,” said Adrian Kitai, professor of engineering physics at McMaster. “The solar technology can also be used to light up bus shelter signage and provide lighting for general safety.” Link to full story in EurekAlert!
