Pole having solar cells
First Claim
1. A pole having solar cells, wherein the pole has an electric device attached thereto, comprising:
- a plurality of solar cell modules arranged approximately vertically on at least one portion of a peripheral wall of the pole main body, the pole main body being provided with a storage device for accumulating therein electric energy from the solar cell modules so as to supply electric energy accumulated in the storage device to the electric device,wherein the plurality of solar cell modules includes a number sufficient to generate an amount of electric energy to be consumed by the electric device for one day, and the storage device has a capacity to accumulate the amount of electric energy generated by the plurality of solar cell modules to be consumed by the electric device for one day.

Abstract
A pole incorporating solar cells has a lighting device or like electric device attached thereto, and a required number of solar cell modules arranged approximately vertically on at least one portion of peripheral wall of the main body of the pole. The arrangement of solar cell modules has the function of generating the electric energy to be consumed by the electric device for one day, utilizing solar radiation afforded by at least scattered sunlight selected from scattered sunlight or direct sunlight. A storage device is provided in the pole main body and has a capacity to accumulate therein the electric energy to be consumed by the electric device for one day, and is repeatedly charged and discharged every day.
