Frequently asked questions and answers on FlexSol Solutions Solar Lighting systems.
The solar modules on Soluxio are made from SCHOTT’s high-quality borosilicate glass, which is known for its microscopic, smooth, abrasion-resistant surface. The borosilicate glass, in combination with the vertical orientation of the modules, minimises dust […]
The Soluxio Solar Panels are made with a borosilicate glass front sheet. Borosilicate glass offers exceptional resistance to environmental factors such as UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, and extreme weather conditions (e.g., hailstorms, snow, and heavy […]
Soluxio’s cylindrical solar modules deliver a peak power output of 110 Watts (Wp) and achieve an average daily energy production of 220 Watt-hours (Wh), thanks to their >24% efficiency and 4-channel power point tracker.
The height […]
Cylindrical solar panels, like those on Soluxio poles, outperform traditional flat panels in durability, efficiency, and maintenance. Their vertical design captures sunlight from multiple angles, maximising power generation even during winter or low-sunlight conditions. Because […]
Even on the darkest winter days or during extended cloudy periods, the Soluxio Solar Light Pole remains operational. With the ability to provide illumination for up to 30 days without a single ray of sunlight, […]
Soluxio runs entirely on solar power, turning sunlight into electricity with high efficiency. By storing this energy in high-capacity, dense lithium batteries, Soluxio operates entirely off-grid, unless the hybrid option is selected. This makes Soluxio […]
The Soluxio LED driver is a highly efficient DC-DC LED driver designed specifically for solar applications. Unlike conventional AC-DC drivers that convert Alternating Current (AC) to Direct Current (DC), the Soluxio driver operates directly from […]
The Soluxio system is designed to accommodate a wide range of light fixtures. With a maximum power of 80 watts, the system can support most fixtures and lighting applications.
Unlike traditional flat panels mounted atop poles, Soluxio’s cylindrical solar panels are mounted around the pole. This innovative design makes it possible to use almost any type of light fixture, including single or double fixtures.
By […]
The Soluxio Solar Pole uses a built-in GPS to determine its precise location, as well as the current date and time. This allows the system to automatically calculate daily sunrise and sunset times using astronomical […]
Soluxio is a fully standalone solar system designed for more than just lighting. It provides reliable DC power for a variety of smart city applications, including WiFi hotspots, emergency call buttons, gunshot detection monitors, 24/7 […]
Using an occupancy sensor can certainly be a good idea if you need it to meet energy codes like California Title 24 or IECC. Those require power reduction during evening times of vacancy or scheduled […]
Some public spaces and property protection areas demand light levels that must be consistently met on a daily basis. Our exclusive grid-tied hybrid solar light solves the problem. It doesn’t feed power back to the […]
After installation, the Soluxio system enters a calibration mode, which in general is one week. During this period, it locates itself via GPS, calculates sunrise and sunset data, calculates expected solar generation, gathers historical weather […]
The Soluxio Solar Pole is equipped with cellular 4G/LTE wireless connectivity. This enables remote installation assistance and remote monitoring, giving you access to critical system data through an API or an online dashboard. This completely […]
The advanced nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) lithium battery is housed within the Soluxio Control Unit, a durable and compact unit that also includes the proprietary solar electronics and software. This unit is securely located inside […]
From the very first Soluxio installation, lithium batteries have been a core component. Initially, Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP or LiFePO4) batteries were used due to their many advantages for solar lighting, such as high charge […]
Warren Buffett famously said, “Price is what you pay; value is what you get.” This sentiment perfectly applies to solar lighting, where no two projects are the same. Factors like solar irradiance, operational requirements, and […]
The Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) mandates that the majority of component costs and manufacturing for federally funded projects must be U.S.-based. Soluxio Lighting offers a BABA compliant Solar pole option to ensure your […]
Soluxio offers an extended 10-year warranty on all solar components, including the battery, cylindrical solar modules, and controller. Third-party fixtures, components and add-ons such as cameras or sensors are covered under the manufacturer’s warranty, typically […]
The Soluxio system comes preconfigured with factory settings for the LED fixture and lighting scheme, eliminating the need for manual controller configuration. This makes Soluxio one of the simplest systems to operate on the market.
Installing the Soluxio Solar Pole takes only 30 minutes, thanks to a comprehensive step-by-step manual featuring photos and videos. Other solar lighting solutions often take up to 4 hours of installation! The process of assembling […]
When considering the comprehensive costs associated with traditional lighting systems, Soluxio’s Solar Lighting may not have a higher upfront expense. Traditional systems often require extensive labour for groundwork, including trenching, laying electrical cables, and commissioning […]
We offer a diverse range of customizable options to elevate the aesthetic appeal of your Soluxio Solar Pole. Personalise the design with various pole finishes, including anodising or powder coating, with options such […]
Soluxio Solar Lighting is highly adaptable and thrives in a variety of locations. The system’s trenchless design eliminates the need for costly and disruptive grid interconnections, making it ideal for areas with […]
Soluxio is ideal for a wide range of applications, such as pedestrian-scale lighting for parks, jogging paths, bicycle lanes, pickleball and tennis courts, residential subdivisions, commercial centres, public recreation areas, university campuses, and […]
When planning a solar lighting project, it’s important to gather key information to ensure the solution meets your specific needs. Location is a critical factor; assess the solar energy potential by evaluating the […]
