Solar High Mast Pole Manufacturing & Supply | AS INFRA ENGINEERS AND CONTRACTORS Solar high mast lighting systems are designed to provide powerful and wide-area illumination using solar energy, making them suitable for locations where conventional electrical power supply is limited, costly, or not readily available. For large infrastructure projects, commercial developments, residential projects, roads, construction sites, industrial premises, parking areas, sports grounds, and open spaces, a solar high mast combines high-level illumination with renewable energy technology. AS INFRA ENGINEERS AND CONTRACTORS manufactures and supplies high-quality solar high mast poles designed for outdoor applications, with structural strength, corrosion protection, reliable solar lighting components, and long service life. 1) What Is an Solar High Mast Pole? An 18 Meter Solar High Mast Pole is a tall structural lighting system designed to install multiple solar-powered LED floodlights at an elevated height for illuminating a large area. Unlike conventional street lighting systems that require underground electrical cabling, a solar high mast operates using a solar photovoltaic (PV) system, battery storage, charge controller and LED lighting system. A typical solar high mast system can consist of: Heavy-duty structural steel construction Hot-dip galvanized finish Solar LED floodlights Solar photovoltaic panels Solar mounting structure Battery bank / lithium battery system Solar charge controller Electrical control panel Internal wiring and cables Earthing arrangement Foundation and anchor bolt assembly Lantern mounting/carriage arrangement Raising & lowering mechanism, where applicable The complete system is designed to provide efficient illumination while reducing dependence on conventional grid electricity. 2) Why Choose Solar High Mast Lighting? Solar high mast systems offer an efficient solution for large-area outdoor lighting. Major advantages include: Energy Independent The lighting system generates electricity through solar panels, reducing dependence on the electrical grid. Reduced Electricity Cost Solar energy is available without recurring grid electricity consumption, helping reduce operating costs. Suitable for Remote Locations Solar high masts can be installed in locations where electrical infrastructure or cable connectivity is difficult. Environment Friendly Solar-powered lighting uses renewable energy and can help reduce dependence on conventional energy sources. Large Area Illumination The elevated mounting height allows multiple LED floodlights to illuminate a wide area from a single mast. Low Cable Dependency Because power is generated locally through solar panels, extensive underground electrical cabling may not be required, depending on the system design. 3) Structural Design & Wind Load Considerations An 18 meter solar high mast is exposed to wind pressure because of its considerable height, pole surface area, solar panels and lighting equipment. Therefore, structural design should consider: Pole height Pole geometry Steel grade Plate thickness Wind load Solar panel size and arrangement LED luminaire weight Equipment mounting arrangement Base plate dimensions Anchor bolt arrangement Foundation design Site-specific soil conditions The structural design should be carried out considering the applicable IS 875 wind-load requirements and actual project conditions. For every installation, the final design should be verified according to the site location, wind zone, soil condition, solar panel configuration and lighting load. 4) Material & Fabrication Quality The high mast pole forms the primary structural support for the complete solar lighting system. The mast can be manufactured using structural steel conforming to applicable specifications such as IS 2062 / BS EN 10025, depending on project requirements. Important manufacturing processes include: Tapered polygonal pole fabrication Accurate plate cutting and forming Proper longitudinal welding Base plate fabrication Solar panel mounting arrangement Equipment mounting arrangement Dimensional inspection Weld inspection Surface preparation Hot-dip galvanization For heavy-duty applications, Automatic Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) may be used as specified in the project technical requirements. 5) Hot-Dip Galvanization for Corrosion Protection Solar high mast poles are continuously exposed to rain, humidity, sunlight and atmospheric conditions. Therefore, corrosion protection is an important part of the manufacturing process. The pole can be protected through Hot-Dip Galvanization (HDG) in accordance with applicable standards such as IS 2629 / ISO 1461. Hot-dip galvanization provides protection against: Rainwater Moisture Atmospheric corrosion High humidity Outdoor weather exposure Coastal environmental conditions For projects in Mumbai and other coastal areas, proper galvanization is particularly important for achieving long-term durability. 6) Solar Lighting System The solar lighting system is the main difference between a conventional high mast and a solar high mast. A typical solar high mast lighting system includes: Solar PV Panels Solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy during the daytime. Solar Charge Controller The controller regulates the charging process and manages power supplied to the battery and lighting system. Battery Storage The battery stores solar energy generated during the day for operation during nighttime. Depending on project requirements, lithium-ion / LiFePO₄ or other suitable battery technology may be selected. LED Floodlights High-efficiency LED floodlights provide illumination over the required area. Control System The lighting system can incorporate automatic dusk-to-dawn operation, timers, sensors or intelligent controls depending on project requirements. 7) Solar Panel Mounting Arrangement The solar panels need to be securely mounted to withstand outdoor environmental conditions and wind forces. The mounting structure should provide: Proper panel support Structural stability Suitable panel inclination Secure fastening Corrosion protection Easy inspection and maintenance The number, wattage and configuration of solar panels should be selected according to the LED load, required operating hours, battery capacity, solar irradiation and required autonomy. 8) Battery Backup & Night-Time Operation One of the most important design considerations in a solar high mast is the battery storage capacity. During the day: Solar Panel → Charge Controller → Battery During the night: Battery → LED Floodlights The battery capacity should be selected based on: LED wattage Number of floodlights Daily operating hours Required backup/autonomy Local solar radiation Weather conditions System losses Required battery reserve For projects where reliable lighting is required during cloudy or rainy periods, adequate battery autonomy is particularly important. 9) High Mast Raising & Lowering Mechanism For high mast systems where maintenance access is required, a raising and lowering mechanism can be incorporated. Depending on the project design, the system may include: Lantern carriage Winch assembly Stainless steel wire rope Pulley arrangement Locking mechanism Motorized operating system The mechanism allows lighting equipment to be lowered for maintenance, inspection and replacement without requiring extensive work at height. For solar high masts, the final raising/lowering arrangement should also consider the weight and position of solar panels and associated equipment. 10) Base Plate, Anchor Bolts & RCC Foundation The base plate transfers the structural forces from the mast to the RCC foundation. A typical foundation arrangement consists of: RCC foundation Reinforcement steel Anchor bolts Base plate Nuts and washers Pole foundation hardware Earthing arrangement Foundation design should consider: Pole height + wind load + solar panel load + lighting load + soil condition + anchor bolt arrangement. The anchor bolts must be accurately positioned to match the mast base plate. A properly designed and constructed foundation is essential for the long-term stability of an 18 meter solar high mast. 11) Applications of 18 Meter Solar High Mast An 18 meter solar high mast can be used for various large-area outdoor lighting applications, including: Residential developments Commercial projects Construction sites Infrastructure projects Large parking areas Internal roads Industrial premises Sports grounds Stadium surroundings Warehouses and logistics areas Public open spaces Security lighting Remote locations Roads and junctions Ports and large outdoor facilities The exact pole height, LED wattage, solar panel capacity and battery size should be selected according to the project's illumination requirements. 12) Advantages of Solar High Mast Over Conventional Lighting Feature Solar High Mast Conventional High Mast Power Source Solar energy Grid electricity Underground Power Cable Reduced / may not be required Generally required Electricity Consumption Minimal grid dependence Grid dependent Renewable Energy Yes No Remote Location Suitability Excellent Depends on grid availability Battery Backup Available Normally not required Operating Cost Lower potential operating cost Higher due to electricity consumption Installation Flexibility High Dependent on electrical infrastructure 13) Quality Checks Before Dispatch Before dispatch and installation, important quality inspections may include: Overall pole height Pole dimensions Plate thickness Base plate dimensions Anchor bolt compatibility Weld quality Galvanizing coating thickness Solar panel mounting arrangement LED mounting arrangement Battery and controller specifications Cable and wiring arrangement Raising/lowering mechanism Dimensional accuracy Structural finish The complete solar lighting system should be tested according to the applicable project specifications before commissioning.
