ABSTRACT:
Solar powered and/or augmented lighting systems embodied within conventional hollow light pole configuration incorporating a solar power lamp cell. A plurality of solar cells are disposed in an array about an upstanding light pole of conventional design of the type having a hollow interior and laterally extending lighting elements. The lighting element itself is provided in a configuration incorporating a solar cell atop a storage battery atop a light source, such as a bulb, operable from said light power system. The lighting cell is selectively powered by either a storage battery system operable in conjunction with the solar panel array and/or the solar power network incorporated therein. A network of electrical storage cells are disposed within the hollow configuration of the light pole and supported upon an elevator system for facilitating access thereto. In this manner, the overall consumption of energy from conventional power lines may be reduced and/or eliminated. The commercial lines may remain connected to said light poles for augmented power during periods of low solar energization and for purposes of original solar collector orientation.
