Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for powering a Self Service Terminal (SST), comprising a primary power supply, a back-up power supply, at least one renewable power supply, and a power management controller for selectively using the renewable power supply when a first power level is available from the renewable power supply, and to supplement or replace the renewable power supply with the primary power supply and/or the back-up power supply when a second power level is required by the SST that exceeds the first power level.
