Non Conductive Simpole

Why is simPole non conductive pole is good to used?

Using a non-conductive SimPole is primarily a life-saving safety choice. While standard carbon fiber poles are prized for being lightweight and rigid, they are also highly conductive, meaning they can act like a lightning rod if they touch a live power line.

The SimPole Resistor and non-conductive series are designed specifically to mitigate these risks, particularly for window cleaners and solar panel technicians.

Why It Is "Good" to Use

  • Electric Shock Protection: The most significant benefit is the double insulation or specialized composite material (like fiberglass or “Resistor” coating) that resists the flow of electricity. If a pole accidentally brushes against an overhead power line or a faulty solar panel, the non-conductive properties provide a critical layer of defense against electrocution.
  • Solar Panel Safety: Solar installations can reach high voltage levels. Standard carbon fiber poles are actually quite risky in this environment. A tested non-conductive pole ensures that you aren’t creating a path for current to travel from the panels through the water-fed pole to your body.
  • Weather Resilience: Many non-conductive composite materials (like those used in SimPole’s fiberglass or hybrid models) are naturally resistant to corrosion, rust, and UV degradation. Unlike metal poles, they won’t weaken when exposed to salt air or harsh chemicals.
  • Durability and Flex: While fiberglass is slightly heavier and more flexible than carbon fiber, it is much more durable against impact. The “Resistor” series often strikes a balance, providing enough rigidity to work at height while maintaining the safety of low conductivity.

Warning

Even with a non-conductive pole, you should always maintain a safe distance from power lines. These poles are a last line of defense, not a green light to touch live wires.
