Technical FAQs 4

Do outdoor solar lighting systems work in the United States?

Outdoor solar lighting systems work well in most areas of the United States. However, it is important to consider geographic and site-specific variables when choosing a product. A solar lighting system will work well only as long as the solar cells receive the manufacturer's recommended hours of sunlight.

How do I choose the best battery for my off-grid Solar System?

Recognizing the efficiency and performance characteristics of each battery type is essential for selecting the most suitable option for your off-grid solar system. For off-grid solar systems, sizing the battery bank correctly is crucial for ensuring a reliable and consistent power supply.

What are some home uses for outdoor solar lighting?

Popular home uses for outdoor solar lighting include pathway light sets, wall-mounted lamps, freestanding lamp posts, and security lights. Outdoor solar lighting systems use solar cells, which convert sunlight into electricity. The electricity is stored in batteries for use at night.

How do I calculate energy needs for my off-grid Solar System?

Make a list of all your products and personas, including their power ratings and the average daily usage in hours. This information will help you determine the total daily energy consumption of your off-grid system. Calculating the peak load requirements is another crucial step in assessing energy needs for your off-grid solar system.
