A pole (1) incorporating solar cells has a lighting device (5A) or like electric device attached thereto, and a required number of solar cell modules (3) arranged approximately vertically on at least one portion of peripheral wall of the main body of the pole. The arrangement of solar cell modules (3) 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 (4) is provided in the pole main body (2) 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. The pole (1) can be installed in a reduced space, is of all-weather design, operable on clear, rainy or cloudy days, and adjustable in the amount of electric energy to be obtained, and is not limited in the location of installation. The pole is free of failure in charging due to snow in a cold climate and free from droppings of birds, retains satisfactory water-tightness, has an aesthetic appearance and a good balance, and is less likely to fall down owning to the wind or earthquake and excellent in safety. |
