Description

ASTRAL Hybrid solar lighting column is equipped with advanced LED and photovoltaic technology powered by a hybrid version combining solar and on-grid system. The vertical design of the SOLAR WRAP® provides for very low maintenance, reducing the need for cleaning, which maximizes yields at all times.


Features and benefits:

  • MPPT technology, the tracking efficiency is up to 99.5% and the charge conversion efficiency is up to 96%.
  • From dusk the battery supply feeds the lighting load. As the battery switch voltage default setting of 11.5 v is reached, the controller automatically switches to AC power supply. The battery will re-charge the following day. The cycle continues.
  • Settable switching voltage.
  • Load power and time control.
  • High and low temperature protection function for storage battery in charging and discharging, and settable operation temperature.
  • Various intelligent power modes can be selected to automatically adjust the load power according to the battery.
  • High-precision digital step-up voltage and constant current control algorithm: ensure high efficiency and high constant current accuracy.
  • Infrared remote control: allow for parameters setting and status checking.
  • Multiple protection functions, such as battery/PV reverse connection protection, LED short circuit/open.
  • Extensible IoT remote communication and monitoring functions (-U/-C series).
  • Hot-dip galvanised steel column with a painted finish and IP67 waterproof grade, it can be used in various severe environments.
  • CCT range: 2700 K / 4000 K.
  • CRI: >81.
  • Height: 6–10 m.
  • LED power: 20–50 w.
  • Battery capacity: 460 wh.
  • Battery autonomy: >5 days.
  • Motion sensor: PIR.
  • Lifetime: >25 years.
  • Solar cell efficiency: 21.20%.
