Your solar light will work even if not facing south but it won’t be at full capacity. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west so having your panel south-facing will allow it to get sunlight from the morning right through to evening time. Is It Facing South? - Just like satellite dishes, solar panels work best when pointed in the right direction. This is particularly true during the winter months when the sun is at its lowest.
The Angling of Your Solar Panel - The angle of the solar panel is a key element in the length of time your light will burn. If you’ve fitted your solar panel in the middle of summer, this is when the shadows will be at their shortest but as seasons change and the sun gets lower in the sky, shadows get longer. Check the solar panel every couple of months to see that it isn’t affected by too much shade at this time of day.
If you find that your battery isn't connected to the strip then recharge it for a few days before turning your solar light back on.īeware Of Shadows - Shadowed areas over the lights’ solar panel is a big no-no, particularly in and around midday when the sun is at its highest. The Battery Strip - If the battery isn’t touching the terminal contacts it won’t charge. The lifespan of a good quality battery is approximately two years. Rechargeable batteries do, unfortunately though, lose their charging ability so if you notice that the light stays lit for shorter periods of time, even after being fully charged, it’s a safe assumption that this is the issue. If, however, the answer isn't so straight forward here are some potential solutions:īattery Replacement - Some outdoor solar lights come with rechargeable batteries which charge when it's light and then use the stored energy at night. A quick remedy for this situation is to place the panel somewhere where this particular light source can’t get to it. Sometimes the problem could be something quite simple, such as another source of light hitting the solar panel, giving the impression that there is still daylight. Please provide a physical shipping address to avoid shipping delays.Start by testing the light, just to be sure that it is indeed broken by covering the solar panel, making the unit think it is night time and, if the solar light is in good working order, it'll work.
