General

Solar lights use photovoltaic panels to convert sunlight into electricity, which is stored in rechargeable batteries. At dusk, the lights automatically turn on using the stored energy, and turn off at dawn to recharge.

Installation & Maintenance

Position solar panels facing north (in Australia) in a location that receives at least 4 hours of direct sunlight daily. Avoid shaded areas from buildings, trees, or other obstructions.

Solar lights require minimal maintenance. Clean the solar panel periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Battery replacement intervals depend on usage and environment.
