ClearWorld, LLC – is an alternative energy system solution provider. ClearWorld’s primary function is to design and deliver energy-efficient systems that reduce utility operating and maintenance costs. We harness the cleanest, most abundant renewable energy source available—solar energy—to provide outdoor lighting that is virtually maintenance-free. ClearWorld offers efficient, reliable systems and services that reduce the traditional utility light pole costs, from monthly energy bills to maintenance fees. ClearWorld provides resiliency and backup power, so lights and critical infrastructure remain on and functioning when you need them. ClearWorld’s solution provides power to the light poles even when the power grid is not available.
ClearWorld delivers a new way to provide solar power through flexible solar arrays placed on existing light poles, or new light poles, the latter eliminating the need for underground infrastructure, allowing quicker deployments while providing tremendous cost savings. ClearWorld poles can be used as a power source to power other equipment, including IoT options (e.g., license plate readers, facial recognition, cameras, gunshot detection, Wi-Fi, etc.), and integrated into the light pole making it to a Smart Pole. For more information on our Smart Poles please contact us.
ClearWorld’s solar wrap installed on the existing or new light poles allows them to be entirely OFF GRID while providing lighting for up to 8 nights with no sun or rain and clouds for up to a month. Since the solution provides OFF-GRID power to lighting, there is no reliance on the electric grid. Streetlights remain powered, providing a safe atmosphere. ClearWorld’s poles have been tested through Two (2) Category 4 hurricanes (Harvey and Ida) and were the only lights in those areas operating for days and weeks in some cases.
ClearWorld’s solar wrap maximizes energy storage. As the sun moves throughout the day, the cylindrical design catches sunlight and stores energy regardless of where the sun is positioned in the sky. The solar array is comprised of a 7-layer flexible, super barrier that withstands impacts from rocks, hail, or tree branches (the solar array contains no glass). This process frees up the electric grid while providing reliable power to the streetlights.
This is effective for new installations, especially in remote locations. The poles harness the sun’s energy and don’t require underground infrastructure. In addition to resilient and redundant power sources, there is less reliance on the electric grid, saving money on the project while allowing for quicker deployments. Where we provide an OFF-Grid option, the sun needs to hit the light pole for 50% of the day. Since the solar wraps are installed around the pole, there may be some shading to the pole and sunlight hitting the other side of the pole. Any poles under heavy tree cover would need to remain on the grid with the ability to back up the light poles.
ClearWorld’s light poles are currently in over 125+ cities and are in 10 countries.
Ten (10) Year Warranty – All of our components come with a Ten (10) year warranty. Our lithium-ion batteries have a 12–15-year life span, which is 4 to 5 times the life of gel or lead-acid batteries, saving a significant amount of money in replacement costs and labor.
The solar arrays vertical orientation combined with the cylindrical shape and lightweight materials give the system an aerodynamic design providing very low Effective Projected Area (EPA), i.e., effects wind load ratings. Low ratings are more aerodynamic, making it more difficult to remove or rip off with strong winds. The vertical orientation prevents dust or debris buildup, thereby reducing maintenance costs. The solar wrap solution houses all equipment needed to run the solar light/backup lighting for our traditional light poles while providing a clean design—no need for additional unsightly attachments.
ClearWorld’s solar arrays offer the ability to install on any pole’s material, size, shape, or diameter. The material type of pole can be cement, wood, metal, fiberglass. The existing pole shape can be square, round, or tapered. Every ClearWorld solar wrap installed rids our environment of 235 kg of CO2 emission pollution per year per pole.
