Is ETC Solar-Powered?

[AsherLynn]

For solar-powered ETC devices, you can park your vehicle in the sun for several hours to charge the device. For ETC devices without solar charging panels, you can plug in a dedicated power cable and charge them using the cigarette lighter socket. The ETC installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and the electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly illuminate. The OLED screen will display messages such as 'Tag Invalid' or 'Please Insert Card,' indicating that the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield, ensuring the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and attach it to the installation location. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, reducing wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC systems more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
