Architectural, 100% off-grid solar powered park lighting at the Pio Pico Playground in Pico Rivera, California.
Location: Pico Rivera, California, USA
Product: M30 (10ft) PowerStack poles with top mount architectural light fixture
Year: 2019
Project: 18 evenly spaced poles along the park’s walking loop power Cooper ‘Invue ARB Arbor’ Post Top fixtures to illuminate the path. This illumination was designed to extend the useable park hours while increasing safety and security. The light fixture type was chosen to meet aesthetic requirements by the design team and park management.
Challenge: With no existing electrical infrastructure, AC grid powered lighting would have required costly and time consuming applications for grid extension and installation. Solar was a good alternative, initiating a search for a reliable and attractive solar option that could integrate with the chosen light design.
Solution: The 18 PowerStack poles could be deployed without the need for utility applications, or the trenching and cabling that would be required to extend grid infrastructure to match the site lighting plan.
With solar powered lighting, 100% off-grid, the poles are installed with minimized disruption to the park or the surrounding community. By using PowerStack, Pio Pico Park and Playground have year-round illumination, with a five day backup designed for gray winter days.
Flexible, modular and technology agnostic, the poles can be used to power other technologies such as cameras and Wi-Fi networks. In lighting applications, this gives the user choice over size (like the bollard light example) and style. In this project, the PowerStack pole seamlessly integrates with the post-top Invue Arbor luminaire, by Cooper.
"PowerStack was able to provide the most reliable and simple solar lighting solutions, making it an ideal choice for this project."
