Here we will discuss all the basic components of solar landscape lights. Each of these components has its important function and purpose.
Lithium Battery
Solar batteries are one of the main components of solar lightning as they act as energy storage. Among the solar batteries available in the market, lithium is the most common and preferred. The life of the lithium battery determines the lifespan of the solar light. At the same time, its battery capacity determines the lighting time of the solar lamp. You must be careful when choosing a solar light battery, as poor-quality storms can cause explosive combustion. Click to view full information on solar light batteries.
Solar Panel
