Ashbery post top light for 360 Solar Light offers unparalleled off-grid capabilities by integrating advanced LED optics and tailored light distributions with a high-efficiency wrap-around solar array that captures sunlight from every angle. The sleek vertical design of the cylindrical solar modules enhances energy capture even in low-light conditions and extreme weather, making it highly reliable in northern locations and adverse environments. Intelligent autonomous controls utilize a 360 Solar machine learning system that monitors and adapts energy consumption based on real-time environmental data, ensuring peak efficiency and long-lasting performance. The solar array’s borosilicate glass surface resists dust and snow accumulation, while its unique cylindrical shape provides greater durability against wind, hail, and sand, maintaining consistent solar absorption far beyond traditional flat panels.
This advanced solar technology is fused to glass using an innovative FlexSol process that locks out moisture and extends field performance, achieving a 24 percent efficiency rating that surpasses industry standards of 15 to 18 percent. Each solar collector features 4-channel Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), optimizing energy capture regardless of sun angle, partial shading, or weather conditions. The system operates on a low-voltage DC setup, optimized with a high-efficacy light engine that delivers up to 6,300 lumens at an efficacy of 191 lumens per watt. The LED driver is integrated with a weatherproof, replaceable light engine cartridge housed within the cast aluminum luminaire, which includes a UV-stable, impact-modified clear acrylic lens and magni-coated hardware for corrosion and ‘anti-seize’ protection. The entire assembly carries an IP66 rating for environmental protection.
Ashbery for 360 Solar Light combines cutting-edge solar innovation with classic lantern-style design inspired by traditional American lighting. The line offers pole heights ranging from 12 to 16 feet, tailored for pedestrian-scale environments and larger applications such as parking lots, streetscapes, and transit areas. These post top lights are International Dark-Sky approved and feature cast aluminum construction with a factory-sealed LED cartridge for ease of installation and maintenance. The system consists of one to two pre-wired solar modules, connected to an IP67-rated control unit mounted within the pole. This control unit contains solar control electronics, an LED driver, and a Lithium-NMC battery system with capacities of 850 Wh or 1275 Wh, ensuring reliable energy storage and operation.
The control electronics include integrated temperature and humidity sensors, a battery management system (BMS) for cell monitoring and balancing, and a high-efficiency DC LED driver capable of up to 80 watts power. Advanced connectivity features include a global M2M eSIM SIM card, GPS and multiple GNSS support (GPS, BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS, QZSS), as well as options for over-the-air updates and remote monitoring and configuration. The lighting control system utilizes an astronomical clock for automatic adaptation to sunset and sunrise, along with a HelioSync™ dimming algorithm to optimize energy use during off-hours. These smart city-ready features make Ashbery 360 Solar Light an ideal choice for sustainable, connected urban lighting solutions.
Overall, Ashbery post top light for 360 Solar Light masterfully blends innovative solar technology, durable construction, and timeless design aesthetics, creating a sustainable and visually appealing lighting solution for modern outdoor spaces.
