Choosing Your Perfect Solar Companion
Not all round solar lights are created equal. Ask these 3 questions:
- Do you need ambient glow or task lighting?
- What's your average daily sunlight exposure?
- Prefer automatic dusk-to-dawn operation or manual control?
Pro Tip: Look for models with detachable solar panels - they let you position panels for optimal sun exposure while keeping lights in shaded areas!
Installation Made Stupidly Simple
- No electrician needed - most install in 15 minutes
- Stake-mounted designs require zero drilling
- Modular systems expand as your needs grow
Thinking about switching? Here's the kicker: Many municipalities offer rebates up to $500 for solar lighting installations. Why pay full price when the sun's picking up the tab?
