Hapco Solar Poles Feature Smart Solar Control System and Network Connectivity

Hapco Pole Products

Hapco Solar Poles are state-of-the-art lighting solutions that operate independently of the power grid, using cylindrical solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity. Supplying solar power for LED lighting and other DC powered accessories, Hapco Solar Poles incorporate exclusive smart solar control systems which provide optimum efficiency and guaranteed power.

More efficient than traditional flat panels, Hapco Solar Pole circular panels allow for full use of the available sunlight. Hapco Solar Poles product capabilities range from 20 watts to 80 watts.

Hapco Solar Pole products are sustainable, reliable, easy to install, and built to last. The battery and controls of the unit are all encased in a single unit. This unit is installed inside the pole, behind the handhole cover.

The control unit is outfitted with built-in 4g/LTE wireless network connectivity and a GPS transponder. This allows each individual solar lighting pole to get an exact Lat/Long position fix which provides the system with live dusk/dawn times; this allows the system to automatically know when to turn the luminaire on and off. The network connectivity also allows the system to be monitored in real-time. Real-time monitoring includes system charge status, battery voltage, system temperature, and light activity. Having real-time monitoring allows any potential issues to be viewed and identified remotely as they happen.

With the GPS fix and network connectivity, the system keeps a log of power input and power output along with weather trends. This allows the system to predict how much power will be coming in with upcoming weather forecasts. With this information, the system will adjust the power output so that the luminaire will always be operable and will not experience down-time due to inclement weather.

Hapco Solar Poles are constructed with the highest quality Schott borosilicate glass, which provides excellent optical clarity and outstanding transmission properties while delivering significantly increased durability and abrasion resistance. Its smoothness and vertical orientation resists dirt and dust accumulation. Unlike flat panel alternatives, no periodic maintenance is required of a Hapco Solar Pole system.
