Ricoh 100% Eco-Powered Electronic Billboard in Sydney to Follow New York and London

Ricoh installed a 100% eco-powered electronic billboard in the city of North Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The billboard gains and stores electricity for lighting from a private power generator that harnesses the energy of the sun.　

This is the third billboard of this kind, following installations in Times Square, New York and London, which Ricoh has installed overseas and illuminate using natural energy. Ricoh aims to achieve “sustainable environmental management” that simultaneously conserves the environment and creates profit. Installation of these billboards is part of the project Ricoh is advancing with a focus on natural energy to communicate Ricoh’s corporate stance. 96 solar panels will produce an average of approximately 123,200 wh of electricity per day. The billboard is not connected to mains grid power and will not light up if there is insufficient sunlight to charge the sign's 48 batteries.
