With all 4 lights on, 1 day of full sun provides: up to 24 hours (LOW brightness) or 10 hours (MED brightness) or 4.5 hours (HIGH brightness).

The Solar Home 620 can charge small appliances such as phones, including smartphones.

The battery level is displayed on the LED screen on the Control unit.

When used alongside lighting, the Solar Home 620 on a fully charged battery can provide two full feature phone charges or one smartphone charge.

Each light produces 100 lumens of light at the HIGH brightness setting, which is ten times brighter than a kerosene lantern.

The solar panel should be placed flat on the roof, under direct sunlight. Do not either place the panel in the shadow of a roof or tree or mount the panel on/against a wall or tree.

Our solar home systems are PAYGO-enabled with a payment period of 17-19 months of loan payback.

The solar panel will continue to charge the system’s battery at a slower rate during rainy or cloud weather

You should clean the panel regularly, with a dry cloth so that it remains free of dust.
