Solar lighting for the home and the outdoors
 
HOW DO SOLAR LIGHTS WORK?
Solar lights use safe, low-voltage electricity, the same as in your car. In a typical solar lighting system, the low voltage power produced by a solar panel is stored in a maintenance-free battery, for use at night. The battery is sized to provide reliable and consistent operation during cloudy weather conditions. A sophisticated electronic circuit protects the battery from overcharge or undercharge and can switch the lights ON and OFF automatically.
In outdoor applications, the solar panel is installed in a convenient sunny location, hundreds of feet away if needed. As an option, the low voltage electricity can be converted to 120 Volt AC (regular electric power) to operate gate openers, fountain pumps, irrigation controllers, hedge trimmers, Etc.
 
SOLAR LIGHTING SYSTEMS FOR THE HOME AND OFFICE
 
 

Solar Powered Home Lighting Systems have several advantages over conventional lighting:

  • Feel secure that the lights will stay on when there is a power outage
  • Lower electric bills, lighting accounts for about 20% of electricity use in the home
  • Friendly to the environment
  • The solar panel can function as an awning over a deck
