84 solar lighting poles. Zero grid connection. Two major UAE roads lit entirely by the sun.
In 2016, Hawk Energy designed, supplied, and installed 84 integrated solar lighting poles across two major arterial roads in the UAE, covering roundabouts and underpasses that required reliable, high-performance illumination without connecting to the electrical grid.
Each pole was a fully self-contained solar system fitted with high-efficiency photovoltaic power tubes generating up to 400Wp, LED luminaires delivering up to 12,000 lumens at optimised colour temperatures, intelligent power control systems, and sealed battery storage in underground housings rated for the region's demanding conditions.
Poles ranged from 12m to 14m in height and were engineered for the specific light distribution demands of roundabouts, dual carriageway underpasses, and high-speed road junctions.
Completed on time. Zero grid dependency. Still running today.
