What sets EverGen apart?
We are “Buy American” compliant – meaning that 87% of the
components are manufactured in America (based on
component cost).
Warmer LEDs are becoming more and more important in
commercial lighting – and people are demanding changes
due to the effect of “blue” LEDs.
Bright, blue-white LEDs create unnecessary glare and affect
safety on roadways. These color wavelengths also disrupt
our sleep and have other lasting effects on our bodies, as
reported by the American Medical Association.
While older products tend to use blue-white LEDs
(6000K) Sol’s newer solar lighting can include warmer
orange-yellow color LEDs (3000K). These lights can
achieve this color temperature without loss of efficacy,
meaning that systems like the EverGen can meet the
same IES light levels as before.

The EverGen M Series is based on the Sol Top of Pole (TP)
model, but has a brand new Energy Management System
(EMS) to optimize for efficiency and system longevity. The
EMS is built by Sol’s engineering team to maximize
performance, while many competitors use off-the-shelf
components or lack this feature set.
Some key technology features built into the EverGen
EMS include:
EMS Component Features
MPPT charge controllerCharge more efficiently in all conditions – keeping
system size and costs down
Bluetooth® connectivity Allows for wireless firmware updates
GPS on board Provides accurate location for fault reporting
Satellite monitoringSends status messages from system location to
LightGuard™
Integrated LED driver Drive up to 100W single fixture or 50W dual
SEE ‘SPECIFICATION PACKAGE SAMPLE’ FOR DETAILS
The lighting industry is undergoing a huge shift. Besides
switching to LED lighting fixtures to improve power
efficiencies, cities are also looking to integrate smart city
technologies in order to streamline maintenance of their
infrastructure.
Incorporating these machine-to-machine capabilities,
including remote monitoring, allows an individual lighting
system to communicate to a central intelligence hub using
satellite technology – automatically letting maintenance
crews know when there is a fault with the system.
SEE ‘LIGHTGUARD SELL SHEET’ FOR DETAILS
Sol includes remote
monitoring packages
with every EverGen
light. All standard systems
include LightGuard remote
monitoring that sends alerts
via email. The remote
monitoring package can be
upgraded to LightGuard Plus
or API packages.
Other benefits of monitoring include:
• Ability to view systems for preventative maintenance
before outages occur
• Customers can respond to damaged, vandalized, and
inoperable devices more quickly
What sets
EverGen
apart?
Simple Setup
The new EMS includes Bluetooth® wireless technologies – an addition
that creates a more streamlined setup and gives contractors and
maintenance crews confidence that setup is done right.
Bluetooth technology, in combination with the EverGen Setup App,
provides step-by-step assistance during the commissioning phase.
Crews will be required to use an Android smartphone and will also have
access to online installation manuals and direct chat with our sales
engineer.
