Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: identify a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight for the panel. Utilize the provided stake to mount the panel firmly in the ground. Avoid placing the panel near other light sources like street lamps or porch lights, as these can trigger the dusk-to-dawn sensor and prevent the lights from activating. To maintain the system, periodically wipe the solar panel with a damp cloth to remove dust or debris, as this ensures optimal charging efficiency. During prolonged periods of extreme winter weather or zero sunlight, you may choose to switch the unit off to preserve the battery health until spring.
