Hadco Solar Post top Specifications
If LED devices are on the lighting design frontier, then solar lighting with self-contained batteries is definitely a push beyond. Hadco has partnered with SolarOne® Solutions in our quest to go “green” by introducing the capability of integrating our top-selling post-top and pendant fixtures with SO-Bright™ solar capabilities. Our solar-powered lighting systems overcome barriers of distance and challenging site conditions. No wires. No trenching. No additional transformer installations. The solar panels are internally connected to batteries and a SO-Bright™ management system that regulates output regardless of weather conditions. Each system is self-sufficient and takes roughly an hour to install. Find out more about Hadco's decorative post top offerings. |

Good Solar Power Design Practices and LED lighting

In today’s highly energy environment, people rarely question the promise and benefits of solar power. It’s no longer a question of if, but when and in what forms. As it turns out, “Solar Power” comes in many forms. All too often those forms are confused by the general public. Most laypeople still think of solar power for heating their pool or domestic hot water. However there is another form of solar power that generates electricity (photovoltaics). Under this category, there are several sub-categories that range from huge power plants that may employ concentrators generating mega-watts (MW) of power into the electrical grid, all the way to tiny “grid-independent systems” that use solar cells to charge a battery with micro-watts (µW) or milli-watts (mW) of power that in turn provides power to a dedicated load – such as a calculator or flash light.
