Miami to get solar powered ATMs

The Miami area will get its first solar-powered ATMs, according to Expert Group, who will be producing and deploying the ATMs in the area.

Solar panels, which will be connected to a circuit breaker board that feeds a power controller, will be on top of the ATMs. Collected energy is stored in the power collector to allow the ATMs to be operational at night.

"We are planning to put 100 solar-powered ATMs in various areas in Miami in the near future," Robert Rico, chairman of financing for the Expert Group, said. "The wonderful thing about these machines is that they are not costly and will provide our customers with the chance to contribute to helping the environment."

The Expert Group markets financial products and said it is rapidly becoming a leader in the Florida market.

According to the Florida Solar Energy Research and Education Foundation, about 15,000 solar water heater, pool heater and electric systems are installed annually across the state. This saves 180,000 barrels of fuel, reduces the amount spent on utilities by $35 million and offsets CO2 emissions by 300,000 tons, the FSEREF says on its website.
