Is Bulgaria on a cleantech roll or what? Just a few weeks ago we heard about work proceeding on two solar power plants totaling 45 megawatts, a hefty amount for a country of fewer than 8 million people. And now the southeastern European nation is the source of what is purported to be the first LED screen with an integrated solar panel.A Sofia-based company called Megatex announced the development, an extension of its line of products such as LED walls, LED screens, sport information systems, digital clocks and thermometers, digital transport systems and dynamic message displays. So we’re talking about a large display here – a 5 kilowatt solar panel integrated into an LED display that could be used for open-air applications and can be installed on stadiums or used as a billboard. An d,as the company noted, “what makes it different is the fact that the screen can be installed even in areas with no access to electricity, such as highways.”
