1. A drone charging station comprising:
- a post;
at least one solar collector coupled to the post;
a docking station, providing a landing target for a drone, the docking station coupled to the post, wherein the at least one solar collector is configured to charge a battery of the drone through solar power collected by the at least one solar collector wherein the solar collector and the docking station are both supported solely by the post, such that the post carries the entire weight of both the solar collector and docking station, and wherein the solar collector is a bi-facial solar active panel having front and back solar active faces.
