Utilising seamless vertical integration as a clean efficient method to integrate solar photovoltaic technology into column lighting systems. Using this method, large flat solar panels are not needed, but instead are placed around the lighting pole itself. This seamlessly integrates the technology aesthetically without compromising the efficiency, adding value to both designers and end users. Vertical integration is more wind-resistant, reducing wind-loads and saving on the expensive pole foundations. It also minimises the maintenance burden of dirt or snow built up on

the photovoltaic surfaces, requiring less frequent and easier cleaning. The vertical wrap around panels receive light more evenly and efficiently from the sun and sky during daylight hours, even in darker climates and seasons. 

NOTE: the head type must be equal or lesser wattage than the battery capacity output. If you choose a larger head ie, 60W street light on a 30W model, if will work but the light output will be limited to 30W.
