Dublin-based Solar AdTek, the leading developer and supplier of innovative solar powered lighting for outdoor advertising, has completed an upgrade of 1,800 bus shelter units across Ireland and significantly decreased their carbon emissions, states an Irish Tech News web report. 

The newly installed lighting reduces operating costs, provides enhanced illumination and most significantly reduces carbon emissions.  John Bouchier, Co-Founder of Solar AdTek, was quoted saying:”As a result of the upgrade, energy usage by the NTA bus shelters has reduced by 88%, saving over 1,000 tonnes in carbon emissions annually. This is the equivalent to the average energy consumption for 461 homes.”
