Description
Unlike large solar panel systems that can take many years to pay for themselves, our Geo Mains Free Solar Lighting Kits deliver instant savings. Installing a mains lighting to remote locations isn't always possible and is often highly expensive when it is.Our Geo kits can be installed by anyone with basic DIY skills and are exempt from Part P of the building regulations which means there is no need to pay an electrician to have your kit installed and certified.
Geo 1 Applications
The Geo 1 will light an area of 16 Square Metres making it ideal for medium sized rooms, sheds, garages, outhouses, wendy houses, greenhouses and tree houses. As well as providing you with lighting you can use the charge stored in the battery for powering a variety of small electronic devices simply by adding an inverter.
What Battery Do I Need?
The Geo 1 - Mains Free Solar Lighting Kit can be used with a 12Ah or greater 12v battery. If you are using a low capacity battery, such as the 12Ah, we recommend disconnecting the battery when not in regular use, to prevent overcharge. Alternatively you can add a charge controller to the system so there's no need to disconnect the battery.
You can choose a battery using the drop down selector above the Add to Basket button. If you already have a 12v battery you can use it with this kit, please note using a lower capacity then recommended will reduce the length of time the lights run for.

How it works
The solar panel within this kit will generate electricity from the sun, into a connected 12v battery. This battery then stores the power ready for use when required. Connected to the battery via a simple circuit are the 12v light bulbs, with a switch situated between them and the battery. Once the switch is turned on the circuit is complete and charge from the battery will power your 12v lightbulbs.Video
Frequently Asked Questions
Question:
Hi,
Looking to purchase this for my shed.
1) can you confirm expected run time for a 40w blub? Would this be suitable especially in winter if used for 1 hour every other day?
2) my shed has a sloped roof which I assume contains asbestos- can I still fit the panel onto the roof ?
By Harry on Oct 26,2021
By Harry on Oct 26,2021
Answer:
If you purchase the recommended battery, that will provide up to 48 hours of run time.
In terms of the panel, you will have to screw the black plastic panel holders in place.
As long as you can secure the holders on the roof the panel would be attached.
You might have to use different type of screws suitable for this surface.
