Abstract
A finial assembly affixed to a flagpole is described. The assembly includes a mounting component configured to receive the flagpole therein, a base component having transparent sections, a body component having solar panels, and a top component having transparent portions. The body component includes a hollow interior having an upper cavity that houses a first support structure and receives the top component and a lower cavity that houses a second support structure. Each of the first and second support structure are associated with a light-emitting diode (LED) operatively connected to the solar panels. A first LED of the first support structure illuminates light towards the transparent portions of the top component and a second LED of the second support structure illuminates light towards the transparent sections of the base component to illuminate a flag affixed to the flagpole.
