The installation of column vertical solar poles in the Foxborough Ward located in the UK, lighting pathways between the community and local transport hubs, and various amenities is a trial with a view to rolling out more new solar lighting installations in the future in order to save future energy consumption costs and reducing the Councils carbon footprint further.
The height of the cylindrical solar pole is 6 meters with 2pcs of vertical solar module and 30W led lighting source It adopts LEDil optics which greatly helps to improve the lighting efficiency and uniformity of lighting on the ground. Especially it adopts the 2G/4G wireless intelligent control system which allows users to monitor the lighting system status and also change the lighting program as well as to check the history data of solar module and lithium battery.
The groundworks incorporated the Krinner screw as a foundation avoiding concrete contamination in an open space setting. Eight columns were installed and commissioned in only two days. The columns were supplied with motion sensors allowing the lights to be dimmed through the night, reducing unnecessary light pollution and minimizing the effects on neighboring habitats.
