Monitoring and illumination for a historical marker with sustainable solar power poles.
Location: City of Deer Park, Texas, USA
Product: M60 (20ft) PowerStack poles with Axis Communications® camera, Ubiquiti router, and LED light arm
Integration Partner: DataVox
Year: 2023
Project: The City of Deer Park required lighting and surveillance to illuminate, monitor, and protect a memorial to some of the earliest settlers to Texas. Funding for this project was green lit to deliver lighting for the marker and sections of the nearby public trail. The team also requested a CCTV camera for enhanced surveillance and security around the marker.
Challenge: With no nearby access to grid power, the City was considering an off-grid solar solution. Site aesthetics were a high priority, so traditional solar with large foundations and bulky panels weren’t going to work. The team needed an off-grid surveillance and lighting power source that was sleek and easy to install.
Solution: PowerStack vertical solar poles were chosen to power an off-grid security solution for the marker, with an LED light arm to provide additional illumination. Further poles were deployed using the same LED light arm to provide operational and aesthetic illumination for sections of the nearby trail.
Because PowerStack vertical solar poles are 100% grid independent, they could be deployed quickly and easily. With no utility approval, trenching or ‘wiring-in’ of AC grid power, each PowerStack pole can be installed in under an hour. The poles are installed without heavy machinery, using a special concrete-free foundation.
Flexible and powerful enough to run the integrator’s requested multidirectional camera and light fixture, the ‘all-in-one’ power pole solution was also a sleek addition to the site.
"PowerStack was a great fit for our project. No hassle with trenching or utility connections and a great example of a robust, easy-to-install, and good looking solar pole! This project uses PowerStack as the power supply and mounting surface for a security solution with data backhaul and a light."
