Solar Powered Parking Meters to Curb Illegal Parking

The Roads Service has implemented solar to power the simple functions of its new parking meters in Lisburn which will be implemented from 21st July 2008. This not a new technology in the world of parking meters, look at the uber stylish Misco Parkman Pay & Display. But this shows our continuing use of renewable technology into standalone amenities where supplying alternate mains power would be costly environmentally and financially.
