Eveready 240 Multi Colour Solar Power LED String Lights

Product Information

Always remember if your lights are covered by a 12 month warranty, and all good solar lights should be, provided you’ve followed the instructions you’ll have a replacement on its way to you in no time. As a general rule of thumb it’s always worth contacting the company you bought from to discuss the issue prior to firing up the soldering iron. We also use different external services like Google Webfonts, Google Maps, and external Video providers. The Eveready® Energy Vault solar battery can be added to your existing solar PV system and household’s need. If you are using a heater situated in one room/space, close doors to areas that do not need heating, such as spare bedrooms.

If your solar light features a panel angle that can be easily adjusted then getting up to a 45 degree angle when winter is at its peak will harvest as much sun as possible. Sometimes it’s the reverse, the light could be installed somewhere relatively shady with a remote panel in a good sunny spot. A mains charger might fry circuitry or overcharge batteries, ultimately leading to a purchase of a new light. If you have a TIMER on your dishwasher, clothes dryer or washing machine use it to your benefit and run when your solar system is supplying the power. Well designed and manufactured lights shouldn’t suffer from this issue and you can keep an eye out for IP ratings to learn which products offer the best protection.Some of us would be lost without our CLOTHES DRYER but the truth is, they are one of the more expensive appliances to run and are often not even necessary to be used. Since these providers may collect personal data like your IP address we allow you to block them here. A Solar panel is a lot like a satellite dish – it will work most effectively if it’s pointing in the right direction. Covering the solar panel will often trick the lights into thinking night time has arrived early and therefore the light will come on. New whitegoods are an expensive outlay initially and better star ratings are often more expensive, however your additional expense when purchasing will provide you larger savings long-term.

Giving it a quick wipe over with a damp cloth every so often will keep it working to its full potential. The use of an energy management system can help you monitor when you’re using power from your solar PV system, from the battery and from the grid. Sometimes a subtle tweaking of the panel location can remedy the situation and have your light behaving as it should do. If you’ve got a remote solar panel that’s separate from the lamp you need to make sure the solar panel cable is firmly plugged in, with waterproof connectors tightened if present. If it’s well after dusk and your light hasn’t come on cover the panel, if it does decide to work you know there’s another source of light hitting the solar panel that’s tricking the light into thinking it’s still daylight.A sign this might be happening to your lights is reduced runtime in the evening, even after a sunny day. As we’re talking about the wire, with any installation where the wire could be subject to tension, for example a string of fairy lights in a tree, always try to leave plenty of slack between branches. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so a south facing panel will harvest sunlight from dawn until dusk. Although the solar battery industry is new, many of the companies manufacturing them have been working with batteries for countless applications since the invention of the battery itself.

If you live near a busy road or the panel is in a dusty spot you may find your solar panel performance dips off over time as a result of a film of dust and dirt building up on the panel. The Eveready® Energy Vault solar battery is a powerful, yet affordable solution to your home’s energy worries. Over four or five hours, all of these together will use at most a few “units” or kiloWatt-hours (kWh), of electricity. If you are not regularly using these appliances, switch them off at the power point when not in use, or when you go away for a period of time.By using more of your solar generated power instead of sending it back to the grid at a low tariff (FIT) and paying peak rates when the sun goes down, a solar battery will save you money from day one. Try and dry heavy fabrics separately to lights and set your dryer to shut off with the moisture sensor setting (often referred to as ‘normal’). If the batteries are easily removable, and clearly labelled and you have the appropriate charger then you could guarantee performance for a night or two but you might be better off getting a good solar friendly location to charge your lights in the first place. Plugging a mains charger into a light or removing batteries and mains charging them can seem like a good idea but unless you’re using a compatible mains charger bought with the light things could go downhill.
