SOLAR POWERED VEHICLE TOPPER UNIT
A solar powered display assembly and related systems and methods are disclosed. A controller is interposed between an electronic display at a housing, an alternative power source external to, but electrically connected to the display assembly at a housing, and a solar energy harvesting device. The controller determines a power requirement for operating the display assembly, determines power available from the solar energy harvesting device, and where the power available from the solar energy harvesting device meets or exceeds the power requirement, sources operational power from the solar energy harvesting device. Where the power available from the solar energy harvesting device falls below the power requirement, the controller sources the power available from the solar energy harvesting device as a portion of the operational power, and sources supplemental power from the alternative power source.
