Understanding Solar

1. A solar panel CANNOT be installed under a tree, it requires sun to charge and maintain the batteries.
2. A solar system is often maintenance-free BUT the batteries may require an occasional external charge in the winter months due to lack of sun.
3. Constantly powered accessories such as wired keypads will increase the standby current draw, solar panel or battery upgrades may be required if insufficient sun collection is not achieved.
