    Keep batteries charged even when electricity is unavailable. These solar panel chargers maintain 12V lead-acid batteries in two panel styles.
    Rigid—Use the terminal clamps to connect directly to battery posts without tools. You can also use the included vehicle connection to charge your battery through the 12V socket.
    Flexible—With marine-grade ring terminals that stand up to water and weather, these solar panels are suitable for boats, RVs, and other vehicles exposed to the elements.
    Automatic Charger—Automatic chargers provide a low-level charge to maintain the battery without overcharging.

    Illuminate entryways and walkways at night—these lights shine when they detect motion. Powered by the sun, they can be installed where you don’t have access to electricity. They dim at night when no motion is detected to save battery. All meet IP65 and are sealed against dust and moisture, so they’ll stand up to wet weather.
    For best performance, position the solar panel in full sunlight and avoid shaded areas.
    These lights can also be set to turn on at dusk and run for 6 or 8 hrs.
    Style A—Style A operate continuously at 10% brightness.
    Styles B and C—Styles B and C operate continuously at full brightness.
    Style D—Style D operates continuously at full brightness. Style D includes a cord to install the solar panel where there is sunlight. Style D are ideal for cold climates because their insulated battery charges at temperatures as low as 0° F. The solar panel can also mount directly to the light when space is tight.
    Style E—Style E operates continuously at full brightness. Style E includes a cord to install the solar panel where there is sunlight.

    Startle intruders and draw attention to activity in remote areas without access to power—these solar-powered lights shine bright when motion is detected. They charge during the day, and the battery lasts all night with typical activity. If triggered continuously, these lights reduce brightness to last six hours on a full charge. Rated for use in wet locations, they hold up in rain and humidity.
    Mount these lights about 8 ft. high on exterior walls. For maximum sunlight exposure, place the solar panel on a roof or wall.
    2 Heads—Lights with two heads can also be set to turn on at dusk and run continuously for up to six hours, even if no motion is detected. They include a stake for installing the solar panel in the ground.

    UV-Resistant Lead Wire

    Also known as photovoltaic (PV) wire, this wire won’t deteriorate from UV light when used outdoors. Often used in solar panels, the cross-linked polyethylene (XPLE) insulation won’t break down from prolonged exposure to high temperatures. The insulation also resists chemicals. An RHW-2 industry designation means this wire withstands underground and wet locations.

    High-Voltage Continuous-Flex Lead Wire

    A thick insulation protects this wire from high voltages while maintaining flexibility. The insulation also resists moisture. Often used in automated applications such as robotics, it withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission. It meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance. If this wire is exposed to flames, it minimizes how much smoke and halogen it releases.

    Solar Flagpole Lights

    Illuminate outdoor flags without connecting to an electric power source. These lights have a built-in solar panel that gathers energy from the sun throughout the day to power them at night. Because you don’t need to wire these lights to a standard energy source, you can use them with flagpoles located in the most remote areas of your property. These lights mount on top of your flagpole between the pulley and the ball ornament to illuminate your flag from above. A sensor turns them on automatically at night—no need to remember to switch them on manually.

    Powered by the sun, these lights illuminate outbuildings, shipping containers, and other remote places that lack electricity. They also store up to 12 hrs. of runtime that can be split over several days, so they brighten spaces even on cloudy days and at night. And don't worry about accidentally leaving the lights on and draining the battery—a timer switch turns them off after a set period of time, up to 2 hrs. To maximize battery runtime, these lights use energy-efficient LEDs. They cast a neutral white light that's found in most workspaces and make colors appear natural and vibrant. IP65 rated, they’re dust tight and can handle sprays of water such as those from a garden hose. This means wind, rain, and snow won’t be a problem.
    They include all you’ll need to install them: a solar panel, battery, lights, and a timer switch, plus cables to connect them. The lights and solar panels have magnets as well as mounting holes. Pop them on metallic surfaces or bolt them down for permanent installation (fasteners not included). The battery works best when insulated from extreme temperatures—mount it inside your structure for optimal runtime. But if you have to install it outdoors, the battery will be protected from weather in a stainless steel enclosure that’s NEMA 3R rated.
    100 W Solar Panel—Lights with a 100W solar panel work well in areas with at least 4 1/2 hrs. of direct sunlight between 9 AM and 3 PM.
    200 W Solar Panel—Lights with a 200W solar panel work well in areas with less than 4 1/2 hrs. of direct sunlight between 9 AM and 3 PM.
    Two Ceiling Lights—Two ceiling lights cover up to 160 sq. ft, about the size of a 20 ft. shipping container or small storage area.
    Three Ceiling Lights—Three ceiling lights cover up to 320 sq. ft, about the size of a 40 ft. shipping container or small workshop.

    Solar-Powered Bollard Lights

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Inset. Landscape Lights. Solar-Powered Bollard Lights.
    Illuminate paths, driveways, and other areas that don’t have a power source without running wires underground. Install these lights in a sunny area, and a solar panel on the top will keep their battery charged. They turn on automatically at dusk and off at dawn. Rated IP65, these lights are sealed against dust and moisture, so they’ll stand up to sprinklers and wet weather. Install them into concrete with the included anchors. To avoid dark spots, space these lights no more than 12 ft. apart.
