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.

Ambient Temperature °C L70 per TM-21 Lumen Maintenance % at 60,000 hrs
25°C >100,000 hours >97%
