Solar Mate Solar Lighting Kits |
 |
Mains free lighting kit
Solar Mate is a lighting kit in a box! Where mains quality lighting is needed in remote locations, such as workshops, stables, summer houses, garden offices, garages, sheds etc Solar Mate is the answer.
Solar Mate addresses the problem of illuminating remote areas where no mains power exists and because it is exempt from Part P of the Building regulations, Solar Mate can be easily and safely installed by anyone.
Solar Mate’s solar panel will collect enough energy during the course of the day (even in Britain) to power its bulb for between 5 and 7 hours every day of the year (5 hours in the winter – 7 hours for the rest for the year).
Solar Mate has a 10 year warranty so will easily pay back its investment many times. |

How it works
Put simply, the solar panel charges a 12V battery during the day, which then powers the light at night. Bright sunlight is not necessary for charging to occur - the system will work even with overcast daytime conditions, both in summer and winter.
