Our SolarMate V Kit can provide essential
light and electrical power to any outdoor buildings such
as sheds, workshops, summer houses, stables, agricultural
buildings etc. A Solar Mate kit is quick and easy to install,
requiring no special tools and can be operating within an
hour. Part P of the new building Regulations introduced
in the UK in January 2005 require any outdoor electrical
work to be completed by a qualified electrician but the
SolarMate V kit can be installed easily by the DIYer without
the need to comply with these regulations or expensive excavations.
The kit comprises a high power solar panel which is suitable
for UK weather conditions and all the necessary fixings
and cables to be up and running. Just add a car or caravan
battery to complete the installation and get free electricity
from solar power.

Solar Mate 3 Solar Lighting Kit

Solar Mate V - ideal for
outdoor buildings such as garages, summer houses or stables
and will provide light for up to seven hours per 24hour
period. Its four fluorescent lights are sufficient to
illuminate an area of 60sq metres.
Solar Mate addresses the problem of illuminating remote
areas where no mains power exists. Solar Mate's solar
panel will collect enough energy during the course of
the day (even in Britain) to power its bulb for between
8 and 11 hours every day of the year (8 hours in the winter
- 11 hours for the rest for the year). Solar Mate has
a 10 year warranty so will easily pay back its investment
many times. Solar Mate V will illuminate a 60 square meter
area.
Our SolarMate solar-powered lighting kits are ideal for
garden sheds, garages, stables and summer houses. They
feature super bright energy saving bulbs, each providing
brightness equivalent to a 40 watt standard bulb, and
will illuminate a 4m x 8m room. The solar panels are of
the high power crystalline type, which give outstanding
performance in all British weather conditions. The Solar
Mate lighting kits are supplied complete with panel, bulbs,
bulb holders, switch, cable, and roof/wall mounting kit.
The product is supplied with a 10 year warranty excluding
the bulb, which has a 3000 hour life expectancy (and can
be purchased at any highstreet DIY shop). The kit is quickly
and easily assembled with just basic DIY skills required.
The kit will require the additional purchase of a 12 volt
lead acid car battery, and the amp hour (Ah) rating of
the battery will determine how many hours worth of light
the product will provide when used.
Part P of the new building Regulations introduced in the
UK in January 2005 require any outdoor electrical work
to be completed by a qualified electrician but the Solar
Mate kits, unlike installing a mains supply, can be installed
easily by the DIYer without the need to involve an
electrician, thereby saving
you money (and expensive excavations!).
Kit includes:
- Supplied with a 43watt crystalline solar panel, charge controller, roof / wall fixing kit, 6 x 12volt fluorescent light fittings individually switched, 12m cable, connectors, fuses and detailed instructions
- Takes around 1 ½ hours to install
- No special tools needed
- A battery is required and is not supplied - a 75
or 85 Ah car / caravan battery is recommended (as
these are generally cheaper than car batteries!) available
from most motoring / caravanning shops
- The kit has a 10 year warranty excluding the bulb
- The bulb has a 3000 hour life cycle - spares available
from us
- The solar panel has a 35 year life expectancy

Solar
Energy is a tried and tested power source that is
already being used around the world for numerous commercial,
industrial, government and domestic applications. It is
powering water pumps in African villages, weather stations
in the Antarctic and satellites in space! It works by
transforming the energy from the sun into a reusable form
of electricity, a process known as Photovoltaic (or PV
for short). Your Solar panel acts as a collecting tray,
helping you catch the sun’s rays. The bigger the panel,
the more energy you can collect. The energy collected
is stored for your future use in a battery. Sometimes
you collect more energy than you actually need so with
larger panels a voltage regulator should be fitted to
control the flow of energy and prevent battery damage
(a regulator is not required for the SolarMate I and Solarmat
II models shown on this page). It would be hard to find
a more environmentally friendly power supply. Clean and
green, solar power is a renewable, sustainable and non-polluting
source of energy. It is easy to see the appeal of solar
power for domestic use. Low maintenance and long lasting,
it is a highly cost-effective and reliable energy supply.
All Solar panels come with a 10 year guarantee.
SolarMate Solar Panels There are several different
methods of harnessing the sun’s energy with Solar panels.
Our panels are based on the finest crystalline silicon
technology, which is more efficient than amorphous or
other thin film technologies, particularly in low light
conditions. This makes it the best choice for our cloudier
climate! While the UK does not experience extreme weather
very often, our panels are specially designed for use
in harsh environmental conditions so you will never need
to worry about storm damage. The individual solar cells
are laminated onto a multi-layer back sheet to protect
against moisture ingress and ensure UV stability and electrical
insulation. The cell base is encapsulated onto strengthened
water white low iron tempered glass and mounted into a
corrosion-resistant, heavy-duty anodised aluminium frame
for stability.
