Solar Street Light Maintenance Checklist for Homes, Estates and Schools

By Qyvea Limited · Updated 20 October 2026 · 2 min read

Solar lights need very little care, but a few checks twice a year keep them working for years.

Every six months

Check that the light has not shifted and that no branches have fallen on it.

Motion-sensor solar lights with the pole included. No wiring, no power bill. Pick your size:

Trim trees that have grown to shade the panel. Test the light at dusk and note any change in runtime.

For estates and schools, keep a simple log with dates and who checked each light.

In short: Twice a year: wipe, tighten, trim and test.

Who should do it?

The caretaker or maintenance person.

Do you offer maintenance?

Ask us about maintenance for estates and larger sites.

Tell us where you want the light and we will recommend the right size, even if it means a cheaper one.
