How Your Solar-Powered Post Cap Works
- The solar panel converts sunlight energy into electricity during the day. The photocell automatically turns the light on at night with the electricity stored in the batteries. It requires no wiring because it runs off the sunlight energy to recharge the batteries so there is no cost to run the solar cap.
- The number of hours the light stays on depends on your geographical location, weather conditions and seasonal sunlight availability.
- Easy “Do-It-Yourself” installation.
