Urban Solar is a Beaverton, Oregon-based company founded in 2008 that operates in the renewable energy semiconductor manufacturing space. It serves North American transit agencies by delivering off-grid solar lighting and battery-powered real-time information displays, with the hardware and systems designed in-house by its engineering team. The company’s solutions aim to improve safety and accessibility at bus stops while supporting greater use of public transit through sustainable, self-powered infrastructure. The business has partnered with transit operators and municipal clients, including CARTA, the Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority, for unsheltered bus-stop lighting, and Saanich in British Columbia, Canada, for multi-use pathway lighting, illustrating its focus on solar-powered public infrastructure. In 2020 it announced a collaboration on DryVGard, a barrier for bus drivers developed with Fleet Maintenance Specialists, and in 2021 it launched PV Stop Max. Urban Solar operates with a relatively small team and remains centered in Beaverton while serving transit operators across North America.
