Solar Lights vs an Inverter System for Outdoor Lighting
If you already have a solar and inverter system at home, you may wonder whether to wire outdoor lights from it. Here is how that compares with stand-alone solar lights.
Wired from your system
Needs cables to each light, an electrician and a load on your batteries every night. Good if you already have spare capacity.
Stand-alone solar lights
No cable, no electrician and no load on your home system. Each light is independent.
Ready to light up your place?
Motion-sensor solar lights with the pole included. No wiring, no power bill. Pick your size:

Which wins for outdoor lighting
For gates, corners and distant spots, stand-alone is cheaper and simpler. Use your inverter for indoor needs.
Protecting your home system
Outdoor lights that run all night can drain a home battery that you need for the TV, fridge and Wi-Fi.
