Performance and aesthetics are often treated as trade-offs in lighting design, with efficiency on one side and visual appeal on the other. With 360 Solar by Landscape Forms, that compromise disappears. Developed in collaboration with Netherlands-based FlexSol Lighting Solutions, 360 Solar delivers advanced off-grid lighting in a sleek, minimalist form that redefines what solar can achieve.
Unlike conventional solar panels, 360 Solar features a cylindrical, wrap-around solar array integrated into a tempered glass sleeve. This vertical design captures sunlight from multiple angles throughout the day, increasing efficiency while reducing vulnerability to dust, wind, and snow. The result is a system that is both high-performing and durable in diverse environments, from waterfronts and remote trails to city parks and urban plazas.
At the core of 360 Solar is an autonomous control system powered by edge computing. Continuously monitoring conditions, it optimizes energy use to ensure reliable year-round lighting. Its self-learning protocol adapts automatically to the environment, with no manual adjustments or apps required. With GPS tracking and a cloud-based dashboard, remote monitoring and upgrades are simple, minimizing maintenance and extending system life.
Resilience is also built in. The cylindrical form reduces wind drag, resists debris buildup, and withstands harsh weather. Tested to operate in temperatures ranging from –5°F to +130°F, 360 Solar is engineered for climates from northern winters to tropical summers. Its modular design allows multiple solar panels to be stacked on a single pole, scaling output to power not only luminaires but also devices such as security cameras or Wi-Fi access points. This adaptability makes it ideal for projects with varied lighting and connectivity needs.
360 Solar also proves that sustainability and design can work hand in hand. Its slim profile complements Landscape Forms’ portfolio of luminaires, including LEO, Torres, Ashbery, and Northport, ensuring a cohesive look across projects.
“360 Solar represents the future of solar technology,” says Jordan Agustin, President of Lighting at Landscape Forms. “It is not just about delivering light. It is about delivering light in a way that is intelligent, adaptable, and beautiful.”
As demand grows for sustainable, off-grid solutions, 360 Solar sets a new benchmark. Intelligent, resilient, and visually refined, it brings high-performance solar lighting to places where design and durability matter most. With 360 Solar, Landscape Forms and FlexSol Lighting Solutions show that the future of lighting can be efficient, autonomous, and beautiful, powered entirely by the sun.
