The solar panel requires full, direct sunlight to
charge the battery. Clouds, rain, snow, and other
weather conditions may not allow the solar panel to
completely recharge the battery. Other obstructions
such as buildings or trees may block the sun as well.
When installing the solar panel, make sure it is
aimed as described below with a minimum amount
of obstructions. If possible, mount the panel facing
toward the southern sky.
•
PRIOR TO USE, the battery will require 3 to 7 days
of full sun to completely charge with the power
selection switch in the OFF position. Plug the solar
panel cable into the solar panel port on the bottom of
the light fixture. If possible, aim the solar panel toward
the south and tilt it approximately 50° from horizontal
(see illustration on next page). If the solar panel cannot
be aimed toward the south, then tilt the panel approxi-
mately 30° if possible.
• Actual operating time will vary depending upon how
frequently the light is turned on and amount of sunlight
collected.
• Solar lighting is not designed to equal standard 120V
lighting. The amount of light output is reduced to allow
the sun time to fully recharge the battery between
lighting cycles.
WHERE TO MOUNT YOUR
SOLAR POWERED LIGHT
The most important thing to remember for the operation
of your solar powered light is that it works from the power
received from direct sunlight. The more direct sunlight
the solar panel receives in a day, the longer the light will
operate.
Solar Panel:
The solar panel converts the sun’s energy into electricity,
thus charging the battery stored in the solar light fixture.
The solar panel requires direct sunlight falling onto the
face of the solar panel for as long as possible over the
course of the day.
When choosing the location for the solar panel, make
sure it is aimed toward the south and is tilted to a suit-
able angle to allow as much direct sunlight to fall upon
it as possible. Make sure there is a minimum amount of
obstructions between the solar panel and the sun.
Also, make sure your solar panel location is not too far
away from the solar light fixture for the wires to reach
and connect.
