Solar flushing restrooms: How they work

At a cursory glance, the features of a solar flushing restroom don’t seem to look different from any portable restrooms. By attaching the word solar to its brand, some hints of eco-friendly features and amenities are highlighted. In this article, Diamond Environmental Services takes on the growing popularity of the “new thing” in the portable restroom market.

Standard features

The standard features of solar flushing restrooms include: sink (with or without), freshwater flushing mechanism (with hand or foot), soap dispenser, gender indicator, lighting via solar panels, exterior occupancy indicator, door latch from inside, convenient hooks, corner shelf and mirror, a smooth design with no sharp edges, and slip-resistant flooring.

Ideal for remote areas

Like any portable restrooms, the solar flushing restroom can be installed in any location -- construction sites, ranches, farms, plantations, orchards, etc. Depending on requirements, solar flushing restrooms can also handle different capacities, where some of the best models hold up to 200 gallons of water.

Other features and amenities

The good news for people with disabilities, these restrooms follow the ADA guidelines. This assures that persons with disabilities can use them with ease. There’s even a wide range of interior amenities to choose from. Reputed brands offer customized solar restrooms in which customers can opt for an oval sink, self-closing faucet with a push-button feature, a built-in trash receptacle. Customers may also include fittings such as a towel hook and storage for accessories. Additionally, the best models have flushing toilets where freshwater is used. Finally, customized models are more spacious compared to traditional models.
