Solar Lighting FAQ

Quick answers to common solar lighting questions. If you’re not sure what’s best for your property, call us and we’ll help you narrow it down.

How long do solar lights last?

Fixture lifespan varies by brand and environment. Batteries typically need replacement over time. We’ll recommend options based on your goals and budget.

Do solar lights work in shaded areas?

They can, but performance depends on sun exposure. We plan placement to maximize charging and consistent brightness.

Can you fix lights that stopped working?

Yes—often it’s a battery, panel exposure, or fixture issue. Send us a message and we’ll help troubleshoot.

Do solar lights work in winter or cloudy days?

They can, but run-time can drop with less sun. Choosing the right placement and fixtures makes a big difference.

Why are my solar lights dim?

Most often it’s shade, dirty panels, old batteries, or poor placement. We can help troubleshoot quickly.

How many lights do I need?

It depends on the area and brightness needed. We’d rather plan for coverage and spacing than just add more fixtures.
