A parking meter may incorporate a touchscreen display assembly that uses a low-power wake trigger, which may be a proximity sensor overlaid on the display, that can power on the display and touch sensor when a user's proximity is detected. The parking meter may incorporate a replaceable panel insert that allows user interface components to be easily retrofitted or upgraded by simply replacing the panel insert. Additionally, the parking meter may incorporate multiple solar panels on the exterior of the parking meter.
