How Long Do Solar Street Lights Last in Kenya?
A solar light is a one-time purchase, so you want to know how long it will last. The answer depends on three parts: the LEDs, the panel and the battery.
The LEDs
LEDs usually last a very long time and fade slowly. They are rarely the first part to fail in a good light.
The panel
Solar panels are durable and often keep working for many years, producing a little less as they age. Keep them clean and undamaged.

The battery
The battery is the part that wears out first, because it is charged and drained every day. Its life depends on quality, temperature and how deeply it is used. Choose a seller who can supply a replacement.
Making it last
- Mount it securely and away from impact
- Keep the panel clean
- Avoid constant heavy use in a very busy spot
- Buy from a seller who stands behind the product
