Does SolarPulse need direct sunlight to work?
No, not really. Obviously, the better exposure to bright sunlight the more efficiently the unit works. But, because of the unique design, SolarPulse accomplishes its assigned tasks with minimal amounts of ultraviolet (UV) exposure. A rule of thumb is SolarPulse requires on average one to two hours per day of sunlight to provide benefit. Even cloud cover provides UV exposure that can then be converted to energy. Common sense plays a part, the more the better, but it doesn’t have to be “Death Valley” sun to be effective. The SolarPulse works extremely well even in notoriously cloudy locations like Seattle.
