Through the use of state-of-the-art technology and Marlec’s expertise in renewable energy, customers can be confident that the solar powered bus shelter lighting kit will provide them with years of maintenance-free power.

Solar Powered Bus Shelter

The UK’s First

Marlec’s expertise in solar powered bus shelters goes back to the early 2000’s where Marlec provided the UK’s first ever wind and solar powered bus shelter for a local council in Scotland.

Since then Marlec have continued to provide local councils with a proven off grid solution for poor lit shelters. This solution which is much cheaper and easier to install than the traditional method of trenching cables in order to connect the shelter to the grid. Also in rural location, connecting shelters to mains power supply is not only uneconomical but also impossible which means the Marlec solution can provide year round illumination in almost any location.

Innovative, Sustainable and Reliable Lighting System

The Marlec solar-powered bus shelter lighting kit is the perfect solution for councils looking to reduce their carbon footprint and increase safety in public spaces.

Our innovative, plug-and-play system is powered by renewable energy, so you won’t have to worry about installation and maintenance costs or the risk of vandalism in unlit shelters. The powerful LED light with PIR sensor ensures no one will be left in the dark or without protection from vandalism—even if their bus arrives late!

The intelligent LC101 controller is the brains of the system and allows us to set up your lighting system in minutes. We adjust the brightness and dimming parameters based on your needs.  We can also arrange a site visit to discuss individual requirements and the parameters required for the system.

Easiest Option To Install That’s Out There

We have used the Marlec bus shelter kit for many installs. The quality of the panels used has complimented the system to charge very efficiently even in the most difficult of weather. They are the toughest panels we have ever used for these applications to date.

The LED light fitting supplied is the strongest and most rugged fitting we have witnessed over the years and the motion PIR sensor is much more resistant to knocks.

Combined with the controller you have full control of all the parameters to suit the application making your installation as efficient as it possibly can be for the client. We will be continuing our roll outs with this kit from now on. It is the best and easiest option to install that’s out there.
