The New and Improved Solar Audio Post – Oak

Jul 16, 2015 | News

The Solar Audio Post Oak is back! After a period of re-design we’re happy to announce the return of our popular Oak style Solar Audio Post to the interpretationshop eShelf and it’s better than ever – read all about the updates below!
New and Improved
Manufactured with Sustainable and Robust Accoya® Timber
Based upon acetylated wood technology Accoya® timber has been thoroughly tested for dimensional stability, durability, UV resistance and in-ground conditions to ensure optimal performance. By significantly enhancing the durability and dimensional stability of fast-growing and abundantly available certified wood species, Accoya timber provides compelling environmental advantages over slow-growing hardwoods. Making it both robust and environmentally friendly.
Strengthened Design
The new and improved Audio Post is of a more sturdy design via 4 lengths of Accoya® wood. This makes the new Post far more robust and long lasting than before.
Light Oak Stain Preserves the Oak Look
Although constructed from acetylated wood the light oak finish preserves the ever popular Oak post look.
New In-Ground Mount or Stand for Solid Installation
The previous Oak Solar Post was designed for in-ground installation only. The new Post can not only be installed in-ground via a new more solid mount design but can also ship with a free standing mount if preffered (similar to the Metal Solar Audio Post mount).
Larger Battery
The old 2.2ah battery has been replaced with a new more efficient 7ah battery, providing 4x the battery power as before. Now when the sun is shining the battery is charging to provide a larger pool of backup power for those less sunny days.
Improved Solar Grill
The thinner solar panel grills allow access to additional light, making the Solar Post even more effective at turning solar energy into power.
Easily Removed Front Panel
The front plate can now be more easily removed to allow easier repairs if required. This also makes it easier to laser etch the front plate after delivery.
