Evolve Energy also has specialist experience and knowledge in the emerging area of AC Solar.

A recent example of our product development work is Polepower®.

Polepower is an innovative, new distributed photovoltaic generation system designed to enhance the operation of electricity distribution networks and assist in meeting peak load demands. Polepower systems attach directly to electricity distribution poles and feed solar energy directly into the low voltage distribution system.

Polepower utilises unused space on electricity distribution and streetlight poles to generate clean, green energy close to the point of use. This offsets line losses within the network and contributes towards meeting customer load requirements. Systems can be readily mounted on wooden, concrete, or steel poles.

The product features a unique curved photovoltaic module which is non conductive and has low reflectivity. This non-glass module is highly durable, shade tolerant, and is designed to perform well in high ambient temperature conditions. Polepower is low maintenance and can readily be incorporated into existing network asset management policies and procedures.
Polepower offers utilities a highly visible way of demonstrating commitment to reducing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the operation of electricity distribution networks.
