Solar lights work best with direct sunlight, as it provides the strongest energy source for charging their batteries throughout the day. However, they can still absorb and store energy from indirect sunlight or daylight, such as on cloudy or overcast days, though the charging rate will be slower. As a result, lights may not stay illuminated as long at night when exposed only to partial sun. For best performance, install solar fixtures in open areas with minimal shade, ensuring the solar panel receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for full night time operation and maximum battery efficiency.
