SolarMate I's solar panel will collect enough energy to power it's bulb for up to 7 hours per day depending on the time of the year (yes - even in Britain!). As a guide, this kit will illuminate approximately 16 square meters. Its simple and safe to install, taking around 1 and 1/2 hours with no special tools required. The SolarMate I kit contains :

• 1 x 5 Watt crystalline solar panel

• 1 x wall switch

You will need to provide a 75 or 85Ah 12V caravan/leisure battery. Unfortunately, we cannot supply the battery due to the high cost of delivering these to you. Any old car battery will work provided it will hold a charge (fully charge it before using with your SolarMate kit), however, to get the best results we suggest you buy a new battery - they are readily available and typically cost £30 to £40 for a suitable one.
