Solar Lights

Using outdoor solar lighting can save your money if you put those in your house at night time? Yes it does! It saved me 30 dollars every months or more! I wonder if you all have ever thought of that? I would like to hear from you.

Yes they do save money... but they don't save anything for me because people keep taking them it makes me what to say "@#%*

I can understand how you feel about it. You know people don't show no respect others that is the problem but really solar lights really save money!

I honestly never thought of it. $30.00 is $30.00 after all. It makes me want to think of a way to keep the solar panel outside, on the side of the house that gets the most sun all the time, while mounting the lights permanently on the inside.

Ive been thinking along the same lines with the economic crisis looming its smart to have back up lighting. Solar lights and panels could provide enough energy to pump water and provide some lighting as well as well as power up my laptop etc. You can use your laptop then to watch dvd's.

The sun is a direct source of energy. Using renewable energy technologies, we can convert that solar energy into electricity. Solar powered lighting is a relatively simple concept. In a basic way, the system operates like a bank account. Withdrawals from the battery to power the light source must be compensated for by commensurate deposits of energy from the solar panels. As long as the system is designed so deposits exceed withdrawals on an average daily basis, the battery remains charged and light source is reliably powered.

The sun provides a direct source of energy to the solar panel. The battery is recharged during the day by direct-current (DC) electricity produced by the solar panel. The light source is powered by the battery each night. Electronic controls are used between the battery, light source and solar panels to protect the battery from and overcharge discharge, and to control the timing and operation of the light.
