Clean Energy Integration in the Urban Environment
OET develops flexible, semi-transparent OPV-based systems for urban infrastructure, offering functional and aesthetic energy solutions that support sustainable mobility, smart city services, and net-zero public infrastructure. These applications provide solar autonomy, reduce operational costs, and improve urban resilience without altering existing architecture or transportation frameworks.
Solar Bus Station
OPV-powered bus stations combine clean energy generation with public service enhancement. Equipped with integrated OPV panels, these units provide energy for lighting, information displays, 4G Wi-Fi routers, and environmental sensors, improving both the user experience and energy efficiency of public transportation infrastructure. Their lightweight and adaptable construction allows for installation in existing or new urban layouts, without increasing structural load.
Solar Metro & Tram Station
OET’s OPVs can be installed on metro and tram shelters, rooftops, or wall structures to power station infrastructure such as ticket machines, signage, emergency lighting, and ventilation systems. These installations contribute to operational autonomy and help reduce the carbon footprint of urban mass transit systems. The flexibility and tunable transparency of the OPVs allow integration with glass or polycarbonate canopies, without disrupting architectural design or commuter visibility.
Solar Pavilion
Urban pavilions in parks, squares, and pedestrian zones can be transformed into energy-generating structures using OET’s lightweight, printed OPV films. These pavilions can power lighting, charging stations, and interactive public displays, while offering shaded, comfortable spaces for public use. The adaptable design allows for aesthetic integration in public spaces, enhancing functionality without sacrificing architectural identity.
Solar Parking
OPV-covered parking areas and carports offer an efficient solution for generating on-site renewable energy while providing vehicle shading and infrastructure support for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The low weight of OPV films enables installation even on lightweight steel or aluminum frames, without requiring heavy structural reinforcements. These systems help reduce the urban heat island effect and promote sustainable transportation infrastructure.
