Solar power can be a great option in many applications. Are you interested in implementing sustainable design principles that are better for the environment? Is it difficult or costly to run power to where you would need a traditional light pole? Is maintenance after the sale an important feature? Does your location allow for a clear view to the sky?

The type of application is always a good starting point. It will tell us if there are specific light level requirements or if we can use IES recommended practices. The project address is also important as it helps us with the solar capabilities and design. Operational requirements are also needed as there are various lighting and dimming options to apply. And finally, fixture mounting heights helps us align the overall power requirements and aluminum pole design to meet photometric needs.

We understand that lighting applications are not created equally and want to make sure your expectations are matched with our design. Parking lots, jogging paths, public recreational areas, residential neighborhoods and sprawling military bases are just a few of the opportunities for solar pole lighting.

While every solar system has limitations, our truly revolutionary design incorporates monocrystalline solar panels, LiNMC batteries, smart algorithms and lifetime aluminum poles that makes us the best option in the solar lighting world. Our technologies and efficiencies will allow the Hapco Solar Pole to work when many competitors fall short.

The Hapco system is light fixture independent. This means that virtually any luminaire model can be used on the solar pole. With a couple of LED driver questions, we can confirm compatibility, or we offer a readily available standard option.

Yes, it is possible to power multiple light fixtures with a Hapco
Solar Pole. For example, you can use double mast arms to
install two light fixtures, make use of spot lights, or get a custom
designed product. With Hapco, the options are endless.

Every location has different requirements. Typically, if you are able to utilize a traditionally powered light pole there should be no reasons why a solar pole would not also be allowed. In many instances a solar pole offers conveniences like not having to trench power, not having to wait to connect to an existing grid, and in general less disruption to the area.

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.

Our cylindrical solar module’s design is optimized for the toughest time of the year when the inclination of the sun is at its lowest and the system needs to generate as much solar power as it can to overcome the shortest days of the year in late December and early January. Did you know that cylindrical panels generate more energy than flat panels in wintertime? They also perform much better with EPA and wind load ratings. A flat solar panel will also collect more dirt and dust, which reduces its performance.

Each Hapco solar module is rated at 110 Watts Peak (Wp). We can place up to 5 modules on a pole depending on its height. Each of these modules creates approximately 210 Watt-Hours (Wh) per day on average, giving us the flexibility required to meet the demands of myriad applications.

Yes. Cloud cover diffuses the strength of the sun but still allows daylight transmission from solar irradiance. This certainly affects the amount of power generated by a solar system, but Hapco’s smart controller is constantly monitoring this data and adjusting power output accordingly to ensure over 30 days of autonomy and fixture operation.

When compared to a traditionally powered pole, the Hapco Solar Pole provides the easiest, fastest, and most cost-effective installation. The cost to install a traditionally powered pole can be $60 – $90 per linear foot for trenching, conduit, wiring, grounds, metering and such. A solar pole can be direct buried into the soil or anchor bolted to a concrete foundation. Additionally, the Hapco Solar Pole does not have to rely on the grid for power, resulting in continued energy savings. There is no extra training needed for installing a Hapco Solar Pole, and it also takes fewer people to perform an installation.

Yes, the solar system is designed to work year-round. The state-of-the-art technology gets the absolute maximum energy out of the available sunlight. The modular design of our cylindrical panels ensures the best performance and reliability of solar light poles in the shorter days of winter by providing flexibility and scalability in the design of the system. Furthermore, smart algorithms secure optimal performance of the system, in any conditions.
