Lights & Batteries
Solar lights for yards, barns and pathways, and battery storage to carry a system through the night.
Proven in Burkina Faso
Solar lighting and storage — the small end of the catalog, and often the first thing a customer buys before trusting us with a pump.
Our sister company, Buy-US Solar SARL, sells and services this class of equipment in West Africa, in heat and dust and without a grid to fall back on. That is the standard we import against. What “field-proven” means here →
Use cases
What people use these for.
- Yard, barn and pathway lightingSelf-contained solar lights where trenching a cable is not worth it.
- Security lightingLit approaches at gates, sheds and outbuildings with no service run.
- Overnight storageBattery banks that let an off-grid system run after dark.
- Emergency readinessLight and stored power that does not depend on the utility or on fuel.
Specifications
What we will publish, once we can prove it.
These are the rows that matter for this category. The values are deliberately blank until they are confirmed.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Luminous flux (lumens) | [TIM: per model] |
| LED type / colour temperature | [TIM] |
| Integrated panel rating (W) | [TIM] |
| Integrated battery capacity | [TIM: Ah / Wh and chemistry] |
| Runtime on a full charge (h) | [TIM] |
| Charge time in full sun (h) | [TIM] |
| Control modes | [TIM: dusk-to-dawn, motion, remote] |
| Ingress protection (IP) rating | [TIM] |
| Mounting | [TIM: pole / wall, hardware included?] |
| Operating temperature range | [TIM] |
| Warranty term | [TIM: months, and what it covers] |
| Safety listings | [TIM: none claimed until we hold the certificate in writing] |
| Country of manufacture | [TIM/VERIFY — pending country-of-origin determination] |
Every value marked [TIM] is a placeholder. Real figures will be published only once they are confirmed against the manufacturer’s datasheet and our own field results. We would rather show you a blank than a number we cannot stand behind.

Questions
Frequently asked
How long do the lights run at night?
It depends on the model, the mode and how much charge the panel took that day. Runtime per model is in the spec table above, which is not filled in yet. We will publish honest figures for a full charge, not best-case laboratory numbers.
Which battery chemistry should I choose?
Lithium iron phosphate costs more up front and generally lasts longer with deeper daily cycling; lead-acid types cost less and tolerate being oversized. The right answer depends on how hard you cycle the bank and how cold it gets where it lives. Tell us both and we will recommend one.
Can lithium batteries ship to my address?
Lithium cells are regulated for transport, which affects how and how fast they ship. [TIM/VERIFY: shipping method, restrictions and lead time for lithium models to US addresses.] We will confirm this before taking an order rather than after.
Do the batteries work with my existing inverter?
Usually, if voltage and chemistry support match — check your inverter’s supported chemistries. Send us the model with your quote request.
Do you sell replacement batteries for the lights?
[TIM: are replacement cells / batteries available as a spare part for the light models?]

The rest of the system.
Installation is a job for qualified trades. We supply equipment, sizing and the manufacturer’s documentation — not installation. Wiring should be done by a licensed electrician, well and pump work by a licensed well or pump contractor, and permits and inspection are set by your local authority having jurisdiction. Requirements vary by state and county; confirm yours before you order.
