Abstract
A display assembly includes electronic displays secured to a structural framework at an elevated position, the structural framework including one or more members and configured for attachment to a surface. Solar panels are secured to the structure framework at a location above the electronic displays, and bulk energy storage devices are secured to the structure framework and electrically connected with the electronic displays and the solar panels.
Claims17
A display assembly with solar power features, said display assembly comprising:
- a structural framework, wherein said structural framework is configured for attachment to a surface;
- one or more electronic displays;
- a respective housing for each of said one or more electronic displays, wherein each of said one or more electronic displays are secured to said structural framework by way of the respective housing, which is secured to the structural framework at a position which elevates the one or more electronic displays above said surface when said structural framework is attached to the surface;
- one or more solar panels positioned above said structural framework and above said one or more electronic displays;
- and
- one or more bulk energy storage devices electrically connected with said one or more electronic displays and said one or more solar panels;
- wherein said one or more solar panels are spaced apart from an upper surface of the housings for the one or more electronic displays and collectively extend laterally beyond said structural framework to form a canopy arrangement over said one or more electronic displays.
A display assembly with solar power features, said display assembly comprising:
- a structural framework for installation at a surface;
- one or more electronic displays, each secured to said structural framework at an elevated position;
- solar panels positioned above said structural framework and said one or more electronic displays, wherein each of said solar panels are provided at an angle between 0-180 degrees, inclusive, relative to the surface and each other when said display assembly is installed at said surface;
- and
- one or more bulk energy storage devices electrically connected with said one or more electronic displays and said one or more solar panels, wherein said solar panels collectively extend laterally beyond a footprint of said structural framework to provide a canopy arrangement for said one or more electronic displays.
A display assembly with solar power features, said display assembly comprising:
- a structural framework configured for installation at a surface;
- one or more electronic displays secured to said structural framework at an elevated position;
- one or more solar panels positioned above said structural framework and above said one or more electronic displays;
- one or more bulk energy storage devices electrically connected with said one or more electronic displays and said one or more solar panels;
- and
- one or more electric vehicle chargers provided at said structural framework and electrically connected with said one or more one bulk energy storage devices;
- wherein said one or more solar panels collectively extend laterally beyond an outer perimeter of said structural framework to provide a canopy arrangement for said one or more electronic displays.
