Placement: Choose locations along pathways, driveways, garden borders, or outdoor areas where sunlight exposure is adequate for solar charging.
Mounting: Securely anchor the solar bollard light into the ground using mounting brackets or fixtures designed for outdoor use. Ensure they are positioned to receive maximum sunlight during the day.
Solar Panel Positioning: Ensure the solar panel integrated into the top of the bollard light or positioned nearby is oriented to capture direct sunlight throughout the day. Keep the solar panel surface clean and free from debris to maximize solar energy absorption.
Battery Charging: During the day, the solar panel converts sunlight into electricity (DC) and charges the built-in rechargeable batteries (typically lithium-ion or similar). The charge controller integrated into the solar bollard light regulates the charging process, preventing overcharging and ensuring the batteries receive optimal charge levels.
Automatic Operation: Solar bollard lights typically include light sensors that automatically turn the light on at dusk and off at dawn. This feature conserves energy and ensures the light operates only when needed.
Some models may also include motion sensors to activate the light when movement is detected, enhancing security and efficiency.
