INTRODUCING SOLTECH HYBRID

A revolutionary product that integrates the benefits of solar-powered lighting and conventional lighting. Hybrid’s smart control system adopts an intelligent voltage sensor that detects low voltage in the built-in battery and switches from solar power to grid power. Ensuring reliable LED lighting throughout the night, SOLTECH HYBRID guarantees stable performance–even in cloudy, rainy, or cold conditions. HYBRID’s cold-weather battery withstands frigid climates up to -30°C/-22°F. Featuring an all-in-one design, easy installation, and superior battery capacity, SOLTECH HYBRID delivers industry-leading performance.

Hybrid Solar LED light switches from solar power to grid power only when it detects low voltage in the battery.

HOW DOES HYBRID SOLAR FIXTURE WORK

When sufficiently charged, the light will be powered by its battery; when the battery is depleted, the light will switch to grid power.

DETECTION ZONE

BEST FACING DIRECTION OF SOLAR PANEL

The area will dictate the installation of the fixtures and will sometimes prevent the lights from facing south. But that’s okay! Panels facing West & East won’t get as much light as Southern facing panels, but will still collect a good amount of sunlight. A North facing panel also works, but it will take longer to charge than any other direction. This would mean that the solar charge will be less optimal if installations are facing North.

SOLAR YIELD VS. COST SAVINGS

SOLTECH HYBRID integrates the benefits of cost-free solar-powered lighting and conventional lighting. Our exclusive HYBRID MPPT intelligent controller maximizes the use of solar power, only switching to grid power when the battery is depleted.

ORDERING INFORMATION

WARRANTY

HYBRID products are covered by a 5 year limited warranty. SOLTECH urban light warrants to the original purchaser that this product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for the period of 5 years from date of purchase. To obtain warranty service please contact your local distributor or sales rep for further instruction.

PANEL ANGLE GUIDE

The solar charge in a battery pack won’t last forever. The off–grid system relies on stored solar energy for autonomy. Angling your solar panels properly can boost the power intake of your solar lighting system. You want to angle your solar panels at a tilt based on the area’s latitude.

Key

REMOTE CONTROLS

The range of the remote control to the indicator is 16ft (Day time) to 33ft (Night time). Because the sunlight will impact the signal of the remote control, we suggest our users to setup the mode before they install the light.

On/Off

When off is selected, the light will stop working. The solar panel will not charge the battery and the battery will not supply electricity to the light.

Connect/Test

Remote control device can be connected with any lighting fixture, one at a time. To connect, press the button once. It also functions as a test button. To test, press the “Test” button once, the red light will indicate the fixture is charging, green light indicates that the fixture is operating.
Testing lasts for 10 seconds, and then it goes back to the mode previously in use.

40%~100% Motion Sensor Mode

Constant 40% brightness (turns on at dusk, turns off at dawn);
100% brightness turns on for 2 minutes when motion is detected.

20%~80% Motion Sensor Mode (Default)

Constant 20% brightness (turns on at dusk, turns off at dawn);
80% brightness turns on for 2 minutes when motionis detected.

Night Owl Mode

Changes as natural light decreases/increases (turns on at dusk); 70% brightness for 0.5 hour, 100% brightness for 3.5 hours, 70% brightness for 1 hour, 50% brightness for 1 hour, 20% brightness for 5 hours (turns off at Dawn).

Early Bird Mode

Changes as natural light decreases/increases with increased brightness near dawn for early risers (turns on at dusk); 70% brightness for 0.5 hour, 100% brightness for 3.5 hours, 70% brightness for 1 hour, 50% brightness for 1 hour, 20% brightness for 4 hours, 100% brightness for 1 hour (turns off at Dawn).

(IAP) Intelligent Adaptive Program Battery Control Technology

In order to extend the off-grid autonomy of the HYBRID under shady trees, heavy rain, and thick clouds, our controllers now integrate an adaptive smart control feature to actively track battery capacity and adjust light output accordingly. Before integrating this feature, selecting a light output percentage on the remote would yield an accurate percentage of max LED brightness. Now with (IAP), the controller actively monitors the battery and regulates the electrical current to the LEDs. The controller makes light output of the selected percentage on the remote relative to battery capacity rather than max LED output. This smart-control feature can increase our off- grid performance by up to 40%.

Important

Dusk and dawn time may be diffrent in other locations and seasons.
The sensors of our products will follow the light patterns of where it is installed. The time period shown in the chart above is just an example to help you understand the different lighting modes only.

100% Constant Mode

100% brightness from dusk to dawn.

70% Constant Mode

70% brightness from dusk to dawn.

40% Constant Mode

40% brightness from dusk to dawn.

Timer Mode Disabled

Press this button to turn off Timer Mode; settings revert back to before Timer Mode was last activated.

Timer Mode 4 Hours

This is an additional mode which can work with any other modes.
For example: press this button at any time after you turn on 70% Constant Mode. If the light turns on at 7pm at dusk, it will turn off at 11pm. It will repeat the same schedule hereafter until it is canceled by pressing Timer Mode Disabled.

Time Mode 8 Hours

This is an additional mode which can work with any other modes.
For example: press this button at any time after you turn on 70% Constant Mode. If the light turns on at 7pm at dusk, it will turn off at 3am. It will repeat the same schedule hereafter until it is canceled by pressing Timer Mode Disabled.

Important

Dusk and dawn time can vary for different locations and seasons.
The sensors in our products will monitor the light levels where it is installed.
The time period shown in the chart above is just an example to help you understand the different lighting modes.
