Off-Grid Oasis: Next-Gen Solar LED- Powered RetroFlex Design

Revolutionizing the Lighting Industry with Sleek, Resilient, and Adaptable Pole-Wrapping Design
by ClearWorld

Solar LED lighting powered by ClearWorld's patented RetroFlex Design.

In an era where cities are striving to become smarter, safer, and more sustainable, ClearWorld's RetroFlex Systems offer a groundbreaking solution. Originally designed as a solar-powered retrofit lighting system, RetroFlex evolved into a multifaceted platform that integrates lighting, power generation, smart technology, and connectivity. By transforming ordinary poles into resilient, multifunctional hubs, RetroFlex is redefining urban infrastructure for municipalities, private developers, and federal contractors.

The patented RetroFlex design is a cylindrical, pole-wrapping system that seamlessly integrates solar panels, batteries, and electronics. Unlike traditional solar solutions, RetroFlex is adaptable to poles of any dimension, diameter, or finish, making it ideal for retrofitting existing infrastructure or enhancing new installations.

Key Features of RetroFle
Aesthetic Design: The sleek, cylindrical wrap blends seamlessly with urban environments, housing integrated communications and electronics.
Safety: Securely retrofitted using industry-standard hardware, its aerodynamic design minimizes wind resistance (EPA).
Resiliency: Batteries are placed within the solar array at the top to avoid flood damage, and flexible, thin-film CIGS panels withstand impacts from hail, stones, or debris.
Performance: High-efficiency, low-light CIGS panels deliver reliable energy, with a vertical orientation that eliminates maintenance needs.
Low Maintenance: The vertical array prevents dirt, dust, or snow accumulation, ensuring consistent performance.

Beyond lighting, RetroFlex is being developed as a stand-alone solar distributed generation system and a centralized power and communication node for smart grid infrastructure, offering scalable solutions for modern cities.

AIoT Streetlights Revolutionize Big City & Urban Life: From 5G Connectivity to Solar-Powered Sustainability
RetroFlex Smart Poles go far beyond illumination, incorporating advanced technologies to enhance urban functionality. These poles serve as hubs for:
Security: Integrated cameras (fixed, PTZ, fisheye, LPR, facial recognition) and gunshot detection systems enhance public safety.
Traffic and Environment Monitoring: Sensors track temperature, humidity, pressure, light, noise, eTVOC, eCO2, seismic activity, and more, providing real-time data for urban planning.
Connectivity: Support for Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and RF-Mesh networks ensure robust communication infrastructure.
Additional Features: Smart parking, digital signage, EV charging, emergency alarms, and battery backups make these poles versatile urban assets.

These capabilities empower cities to address security, environmental, and connectivity challenges while promoting sustainability.

RetroFlex powers AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) Multi-Function Streetlights, creating:
Empowered Cities: Real-time data and analytics enable proactive urban management.
