Abstract

A solar powered display assembly and systems and methods for the same are provided. A solar energy harvesting device is electrically connected to a display unit which is connected to an electrical grid. At least one structural member extends between a housing for the display unit and the solar energy harvesting device such that a bottom surface of the solar energy harvesting device is elevated above, and spaced apart from, a top surface of the housing such that shade is periodically cast on the display unit. The solar energy harvesting device has a first footprint, and the housing has a second footprint which is smaller than the first footprint.
