Abstract
A light supporting system comprises a pole base and pole member. The pole member can be placed over the tubular member of the pole base. The adjustable mounting mechanism comprises a pivot bracket, an arcuate bracket, a pole mount, and a fastener. A photovoltaic array may be attached to the pivot bracket. The light supporting system and adjustable mounting mechanism can be used separately or in combination to form a system for a solar street lamp.
