1. A power distribution enclosure configured to supply direct current (DC) power to a customer, the power distribution enclosure comprising:
an alternating current (AC) input section configured to receive AC power;
a DC output section configured to distribute the DC power to the customer;
a reconfigurable service entrance electrically coupled to the AC input section;
a power converter section electrically coupled to the AC input section and configured to receive the AC power from the reconfigurable service entrance, and to generate the DC power;
a DC distribution section electrically coupled to the power converter section and configured to receive the DC power from the power converter section, and to distribute the DC power to the DC output section;
a mounting portion disposed along a rear face of the power distribution enclosure, wherein the mounting portion includes fins configured to dissipate heat generated within the power converter section, and wherein the fins are formed in a shape corresponding to a partial circumference of a utility pole; and
mounting features formed from a gap between the mounting portion and the rear face of the power distribution enclosure, wherein the mounting features are configured to receive one or more straps that secure the power distribution enclosure to the utility pole, with the fins proximate to the utility pole.
