Patented Vertical Architecture
A unique wrap-around design that integrates solar, energy storage and electronics within the pole.
What is RetroFlex?
RetroFlex transforms any new or existing pole into an independent solar-powered asset without changing the essential character of the pole.
Its vertical wrap-around architecture eliminates oversized top-mounted panels and combines solar generation, battery-supported operation and intelligent control in a sleek, low-profile form.
Designed for New or Existing Poles
Retrofits to poles of any dimension, diameter or finish—without structural changes.
Integrated, Low-Profile Appearance
Preserves the look of the community while delivering clean, reliable energy.
What makes RetroFlex Special?
True Retrofit
Wraps around existing poles—no trenching, no cabling, no pole replacement.
Vertical Advantage
Vertical orientation reduces dust, dirt and snow build-up for cleaner performance.
Built to Withstand
Aerodynamic cylindrical design minimizes wind load and maximizes durability.
Long-Term Performance
Integrated storage and intelligent management for dependable operation year after year.
Designed Only by ClearWorld
Not a generic all-in-one light. RetroFlex is ClearWorld's proprietary technology.

All-In-One Solar Lights |
Traditional Grid Lighting |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Sleek pole-integrated vertical design | Bulky top-mounted panels change pole look | Bulkier fixtures add visual clutter | Standard pole and luminaire |
| Retrofitability | Retrofits new or existing poles | Often requires new poles or brackets | Usually for new installations only | New wiring or trenching usually required |
| Wind Resistance | Low wind load with cylindrical form | High wind load on flat surfaces | Higher wind load due to top mass | Not wind-sensitive |
| Cleaning / Maintenance | Self-cleaning vertical surface, low upkeep | Dust and debris accumulation | Fixture and panel cleaning required | Regular luminaire maintenance |
| Battery Protection | Built-in, climate-protected within pole | Often exposed or poorly protected | Enclosures vary, often exposed | N/A |
| Power Reliability | Stored energy, backup power, intelligent control | Limited storage, weather dependent | Limited capacity, shorter runtime | Grid-dependent, outage-prone |
| Smart Controls | Integrated controls & remote management | Usually basic or not included | Basic controls if available | Usually manual or basic timers |
| Installation Effort | No trenching or cabling, fast installation | Mounting hardware and wiring needed | Pole drilling and wiring required | Trenching or utility work required |
| Lifespan | 15+ years | 5–10 years | 3–6 years | 15+ years |
| Warranty | 10 years | 1–5 years | 1–3 years | 1–5 years |
