Progress Solar Solutions, LLC, an innovator in providing high-performance, eco-friendly and cost-effective solar solutions for commercial, government, institutional and residential communities, announced they are now offering a unique solar outdoor lighting product developed and manufactured through Inovus Solar.

The Solar LED light resembles a common shoebox parking and area light fixture and pole but is powered 100% by renewable energy instead of electricity. However, instead of using solar panels and a visible battery box, the pole is wrapped in solar cells and the batteries and "brains" of the SmartPole™ are completely housed within the base of the pole.

The Solar LED SmartPole is made in the U.S., and operates completely independent of the electric grid. The system consists of a high-performance brilliant white LED light with a 16 year life that is provided in any standard IES light pattern; a 25 ft' pole internally houses the batteries and electronics within the base of the pole, and is wrapped with solar cells covered with a Teflon-like coating. The system offers dimming with the ability to start out at 100% light intensity, then dim at a designated time with motion detectors to bring the light back to 100% when anyone is nearby. The SmartPole has been tested in some of the most extreme environments and offers the best-in-class autonomy.
