Vertical Solar Poles
100% off-grid, modular solar power infrastructure for cameras, lighting, Wi-Fi, IoT sensors, and more. No trenching. No utility approvals. Installed in under 60 minutes.
What is PowerStack?
PowerStack modular solar poles provide a sustainable, cost-effective way to power safety, security, and smart technologies for community and business projects. Deployed wherever the sun shines — no AC power required.
Intelligent & Powerful
Up to 720W of monocrystalline solar modules with glassless panels that eliminate refraction and increase energy absorption. Smart solar tracking via Bluetooth and 4G.
Built to Last
Industrial-grade aluminum construction withstands winds over 155 mph (Category 5 hurricane). Glassless solar modules are shatterproof, flame-resistant, and vandal-resistant.
Rapid Deployment
Installed by a two-person team in under 60 minutes using hand-operated tools. Concrete-free micropile foundation requires no excavation, no crane, no heavy machinery.
Modular 4-Sided Design
Captures sunlight from 360 degrees throughout the day. Modules scale to your location's latitude and load — typically more panels needed as you move further north.
Reliable 5-Day Backup
LiFePO4 battery storage with 5-day power backup engineered for mid-winter conditions. MPPT charge control with proprietary battery management ensures 24/7 uptime year-round.
Technology Agnostic
Easily integrates with a wide range of technologies and brands. Powers CCTV, Wi-Fi, IoT sensors, lighting, emergency systems, and mobile charging — any payload, any vendor.
Why Vertical Solar?
PowerStack's vertical design overcomes the limitations of traditional flat solar — especially when the sun is lower in the sky during winter months, when conventional panels harvest almost nothing.
Traditional Flat Solar
- Minimal yield when sun is low in winter sky
- Heavy steel poles with unsightly panel and battery box on top
- High wind drag — structural and vibration risks
- Bird droppings and nesting obscure panels
- Requires working at heights for installation
- Fixed capacity — cannot add panels after install
PowerStack Vertical Solar
- Maximum yield all day, even in winter conditions
- Fully integrated, sleek profile — no separate battery box
- Vertical profile vastly reduces wind drag
- Animal-proof vertical design limits nesting interference
- Lightweight — installed at ground level, no working at heights
- Modular 4-sided design — add panels to scale capacity
What Can It Power?
PowerStack's customizable, off-grid design enables you to power what you want, where you want — with 100% solar energy. If it needs power and can be connected, it can be integrated.
Installed in Under 60 Minutes
No crane. No excavation. No utility coordination. A two-person team can deploy a PowerStack pole start-to-finish using only hand-operated tools.
Foundation
A concrete-free micropile foundation is jackhammered into the ground. The base plate is then attached — no trenching or utility approval required.
Pole & Payload
Chosen technology (cameras, lighting, Wi-Fi, etc.) is attached to the pole. The hinged base is secured to the base plate at ground level.
Raise & Secure
The pole is winched into position using a powered winch system and power drill, then bolted to the base plate. Ready for power in minutes.
Up to 80% reduction in project deployment time vs. traditional grid-powered installation.
