Patented Vertical Architecture
A unique wrap-around design that integrates solar, energy storage and electronics within the pole.
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.

|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
