The solar panel is placed at an angle of 11 degrees for the best solar harvest. This also prevents waste from being placed on top of the solar compacting bin. The polycarbonate protection plate ensures that the solar panel is vandal-resistant while also preventing the solar panel’s discoloration.

The cover is made of type 316 stainless steel, which is resistant to all types of weather conditions and waste acids. In contrast to a hopper, the lid doesn’t get jammed by the direct flow of waste into the bin. In order to prevent litter and overflow, the cover is automatically locked when the bin is detected as full. The bin can also be locked via the platform, which is handy on events such as New Year’s Eve.
