SolarForm Gen 3 Hybrid/Grid-Smart Solar Powered System

Introduction

The SolarForm Gen 3 Hybrid is an integrated solar lighting solution designed to provide high-quality illumination and reliable performance. It features an LED light integrated with a solar photovoltaic panel, a battery, and a smart controller, simplifying specification, sales, installation, configuration, and maintenance processes. Equipped with field-configurable operating profiles tailored to night activities and expected solar energy availability, this solution offers a reliable lighting option for areas where electricity is not reliable or costly. The system operates primarily on solar power and battery, seamlessly switching to the grid when solar irradiance or battery capacity is insufficient, ensuring uninterrupted illumination throughout the night.

Key Features

The SolarForm Gen 3 Hybrid luminaire is depicted. Key features highlighted include: ? high efficacy LED modules providing up to 9,000 lumens, an integrated high-efficiency monocrystalline PV panel, a Bluetooth module for remote monitoring and configuration via the Service Tag app, and easily accessible components through tool-less top housing opening. The system supports replaceable spare parts for maintenance. Mounting options include post-top and side entry via a common spigot. An optional multi-sensor is available for light on demand and forward triggering. An optional 'Top-up' pole-wrap PV panel can be added to increase power generation without replacing the entire unit.

Technical Data

Predicted Lumen Depreciation Data

Derived from LED manufacturer's data and engineering design estimates, based on IESNA LM-80 methodology. Actual experience may vary due to field application conditions. L70 is the predicted time when LED performance depreciates to 70% of initial lumen output. Calculated per IESNA TM21-21.

Dimensions and Optical Distributions

Dimensions

Diagram showing the luminaire dimensions: Length 41.6 inches (1057 mm), Width 19 inches (480 mm), Height 6 inches (152 mm). A separate view shows the depth as 9.7 inches (246 mm).

Optical Distributions

Visual representations of light distribution patterns:

• Type 2 Short (R2S): A compact, somewhat elliptical pattern.
• Type 2 Medium (R2M): A wider, more spread-out elliptical pattern.
• Type 3 Short (R3S): A broader, more circular pattern.
• Type 3 Medium (R3M): A wider, more diffused circular pattern.
• Type 3 Medium High Tilt (R3TM): An elongated, slightly asymmetrical pattern, suggesting a directed throw.
• Type 4 (T4): A wide, fan-shaped pattern.
• Type 5 (T5): A very wide, almost hemispherical pattern.

Operating Profiles

Fixed Dimming (Without Motion Sensor)

• SDP1: Default for all products without motion sensor. First Hour After Dusk: Light level fixed at 100%. Remaining Hours to Dawn: Light level fixed at 50%.
• SDP2: First Hour After Dusk: Light level fixed at 100%. Three Hours: Light level fixed at 50%. Remaining Hours to Dawn - 1 hour: Light level fixed at 20%. One Hour before Dawn: Light level fixed at 60%.
• SDP3: First Hour After Dusk: Light level fixed at 80%. Two Hours: Light level fixed at 40%. Remaining Hours to Dawn - 1 hour: Light level fixed at 10%. One Hour before Dawn: Light level fixed at 50%.
• SDP4: Four Hours After Dusk: Light Level fixed at 100%. Luminaire then is OFF for the rest of the night.

The charts for fixed dimming profiles illustrate light level percentages over time from dusk to dawn, showing specific durations for each light level setting.

Sensor Dimming (With Motion Sensor)

• OSB-SDP1: Default for all products with sensor. One Hour After Dusk: Light Level at 100% with motion and 50% without motion. Remaining of the night: Light level at 50% with motion and 30% without motion.
• OSB-SDP2: One Hour After Dusk: Light Level at 100% with motion and 20% without motion. Two Hours: Light Level at 50% with motion and 20% without motion. Remaining Hours to Dawn – 1 hour: Light level at 20% with motion and 10% without motion. One Hour before Dawn: Light level at 60% with motion and 20% without motion.
• OSB-SDP3: Four Hour After Dusk: Light Level at 100% with motion and 20% without motion. Remaining Hours to Dawn - 2 hours: Light level at 100% with motion and 10% without motion. Two Hour before Dawn: Light level at 100% with motion and 20% without motion.
• OSB-SDP4: One Hour After Dusk: Light Level at 80% with motion and 10% without motion. Two Hours: Light level at 40% with motion and 10% without motion. Remaining Hours to Dawn - 1 hour: Light level fixed at 10%. One Hour before Dawn: Light level at 50% with motion and 10% without motion.
• OSB-SDP5: Four Hours After Dusk: Light Level at 100% with motion and 10% without motion. Three Hours: Light level at 80% with motion and 10% without motion. Two Hours: Light level at 60% with motion and 10% without motion. One Hour before Dawn: Light level at 40% with motion and 10% without motion.

The charts for sensor dimming profiles illustrate light level percentages over time from dusk to dawn, showing distinct levels with and without motion detection (indicated by icons like ? for vehicles, ? for pedestrians, and [motion sensor] for general motion detection).

Warning: Additional wind loading, in terms of EPA, from banners, cameras, floodlights and other accessories attached to the pole, must be added to the luminaire(s) EPA before selecting the pole with the appropriate wind load capability. See pole spec sheets for the most up to date EPA data and general design warnings.
