Description
Aspire 500-ES solar energy storage system
The Aspire 500-ES provides reliable all night power where a grid connection is too costly or impractical. It pairs a 500 Wp monocrystalline panel with scalable LiFePO4 storage on a tapered, hot dip galvanised steel pole.
It is the Aspire 500 platform without the luminaire and LED arm: solar capture and battery storage only. Two to five 48 Ah modules (2,458 Wh to 6,144 Wh) sit secured inside the pole, with up to four on a 6 m pole. On slip base roadway poles the batteries are above the vehicle impact zone, and the dual battery management system switches off automatically in an impact.
Poles come in 6 m, 9 m and 10.5 m and are rated to Wind Region C (239 km/h). Options include a DC output for add on devices, a Bluetooth module for setup and diagnostics, and a pole mounted on/off switch. Each system carries a 5 year complete unit warranty.
Key Features
500 Wp solar capture. A single monocrystalline panel with stainless steel bird guards and optional panel guards.
Scalable LiFePO4 storage. 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 × 48 Ah modules of 1,229 Wh, rated for 4,000 – 6,000 cycles.
Secure in pole storage. Batteries sit inside the pole, with dual padlock plate and door locks.
Built for roadsides. Slip base poles keep the batteries above the impact zone, and the dual BMS shuts down automatically in a collision.
Poles from 6 m to 10.5 m. Hot dip galvanised tapered steel, rated to Wind Region C.
Optional power and control. DC output for add on devices, Bluetooth module and remote, and a pole mounted on/off switch.
Add lighting later. Fit an Aspire luminaire and it becomes an Aspire 500 street light.
Technical
(1) Autonomy and available capacity depend on location, load and configuration. (2) Controller rating only. Usable output depends on the number of battery modules, the autonomy required and whether the panel can recharge the battery at that load.
