    It's really perfect in terms of light during electricity outage

    Versatile and convenient

    Convenient, versatile and loads of wire length to set up usable illumination, could do with a larger solar panel.

    I can count on it when I need it

    10 months ago
    I bought this SolarHome kit with preparedness in mind. I have not had the opportunity to use it “in real time” situation yet; all I can say is that when I try it to make sure I can count on it, everything seems to work as it should. My only concern is about cold weather: being in Canada, I wonder if the outside cables and connections would endure our frigid winters. Will it stand permanent installation? Also, info about the AC wall charger should figure in the manual. And finally, I really would appreciate to find info about the “Battery Expansion Port” which is on the right side of the Control Box. What can I do with it, and how can I use it?

    Some issues

    Handy little kit and easy to install, but the battery seems to discharge even when not in use. It can lose 5-10% overnight, even with nothing plugged in or the lights on.

    great product - except in cold Canadian winters

    a year ago
    I got this product about 5 years ago thru an employee awards program. It has worked great in my small off-grid cabin. Lots of cable to string the 3 lights so you can place them where needed. I bought the a/c charger and it's a god send when there isn't enough sun at the cabin to charge it using the panel that comes with it. I use solar to power my cabin. The only downfall for the product, and the company mentions it, is the battery life in the cold Canadian winter is next to zero. I have a wood stove in my cabin, and it stays warm, but it's not enough to keep this charged. 3 seasons out of 4 it is great.

    The battery does not hold a charge for as long as advertised. I suspect ambient temperatures below 55 degrees Fahrenheit drain the battery

    Perfect for rural Africa!

    a year ago
    In 2022, I purchased 3 sets of SolarHome 620+ lights for my home in rural southern Malawi where we experience numerous random power outages. Literally stuck the solar panels up on the roof, ran the wires, hung the lights and haven't touched them since. I have had absolutely no problems, use them daily and couldn't be more pleased. The only problem I had was when my dog chewed through one of the wires, pretty sure that's not covered under warranty!! My only suggestion would be to have white wires instead of black so they blend into the ceiling better. Thanks for an amazing product!
