Have a thunderbolt 5 watt solar kit lights wont work what am i dpoing wrong

It has to be the socket that has power at all times otherwise the power from the charger can't reach the battery.

And yes, if there are no lights on when supposedly charging, it isn't charging.

P/V=A

The panel is rated 6 watts at 12 volts 12 / 6 = 0.5 Amps

So in full sun the panel "should" produce 1/2 Amp at 12 Volts.

What type of 12V bulb and what is its current rating?

Hi, just got the 13 watt briefcase solar charger. The blue light is blinking, but my phone shows no charging action. What am I doing wrong

Using a battery/volt meter, check if the battery has a full charge. Also check if there is an on/off switch on the back of the solar panel. If the batteries are removable and are standard batteries, charge them using an AC battery charger the first time. If not, you may have a defective solar panel and should return it to the store/manufacturer.

Hello Phil, what is the size of your solar panel? This pump draws 17 watts so, your panel must be 17 watts or greater. Remember a solar panel only puts out full power when in direct sunlight and facing the sun directly. You can read 21 volts but your amperage may not be full and this is why your pump is not running, not enough amps. I would recommend a minimum of a 20 watt panel.

Most of the solar lights use a stadard 1.2 volt 850 mh nicad rechargable AA size battery and you can get them at your local Home Depot store. You also might try to clean the solar cell on the light they seem to get a film over them that stops some sun light from reaching the solar cell.

The Spotlight kit should still be under warranty for at least a year through the manufacturer. Check your manual and contact the manufacturer. The problem might be the seal which is allowing water in and therefore it needs to be replaced

Solar panels come in different ranges of wattages.Add up the wattage of different solar panels you get e.g. Ten 100W solar panels will give you a 1Kw solar system.
