Iran Planning to Install Solar Panels on Buses' Roof to Generate Clean Energy
"Installing solar panels on the roof of buses is aimed at charging mobile phones or running cooling and heating systems of buses. The generated energy can also be used in running digital currency and meantime can reduce use of fossil fuels," Amir Abbas Mohammadi Koushki said.
"The whole or a main part of a solar bus or a solar charging bus can be supplied by the solar panels installed on its roof. This new model of civil transportation which is called "solar bus services" is planned to use solar energy not only for generating power for buses' electrical equipments, but also for running the vehicle itself," Koushki went on to say.
He added that according to international standards, in order to achieve clean transportation, non-polluting sources must be found to generate electricity to overcome air pollution that all countries face.
Koushki pointed to the high energy consuming activities including extracting digital currency and said, "Clean and low price energy generated by solar panels can also be used for such activities."
