[1][2] The compaction mechanism runs on a battery, which is charged by the solar panel.
Fully charged, the battery reserve lasts for approximately 3–4 weeks, depending on the compaction frequency and usage patterns.
[3] Solar-powered waste compactors are typically connected to a remote software platform through wireless 2G/3G networks.
The platform enables waste collection managers to access real-time data analytics and route optimization.
Solar-powered compactors are primarily used in high foot traffic areas such as town centers, shopping malls, amusement parks, beaches, transit stations and sports stadiums.
