Concept
Most of the photovoltaic street poles currently on the market, show poor component integration as each element is designed separately with discordant final results.
The orientation of the panels constrained by the environment also gives a monotonic appearance, even more evident in straight streets or squares. (Figure 1)
The stylistic solution adopted by the ARBOREO line focuses on the integration of the various components and is designed to optimize key variables such as lighting distribution, power efficiency, structural strength, and orientation.
Figure 2 shows how the appearance of the street pole changes radically, while still maintaining the optimal “x” inclination for maximum cell efficiency.
