Landscape Forms has launched 360 Solar, an off-the-grid solar lighting solution developed in collaboration with Netherlands-based FlexSol Lighting Solutions. 360 Solar brings high-performance illumination to virtually any location without the need for grid power. It features a cylindrical wrap-around solar array with solar cells that are fused to a tempered glass sleeve that wraps around the vertical pole, maximizing solar absorption from multiple angles throughout the day. This design not only enhances efficiency, it also improves durability, making 360 Solar resistant to wind, dust, and snow accumulation.
An autonomous control system powered by edge computing and an integrated GPS locator adapts to its environment, optimizing energy usage based on real-time solar conditions. The self-learning protocol ensures optimal performance without requiring manual adjustments or external apps. 360 Solar supports a variety of Landscape Forms luminaire styles and allows for the stacking of solar arrays for added power generation, while enabling support for high-wattage luminaires and auxiliary devices like security cameras and Wi-Fi access points.
