Why are batteries included with solar products? Are they battery powered?
All solar products require a receptacle in which they can store their collected energy. During the day the photo voltaic solar panel is collecting energy from the sun and storing that energy in a rechargeable battery. All solar products by Allsop Home & Garden are designed with the use of a rechargeable battery, either AAA or AA in size. Yes, the Firefly and all solar products by Allsop Home & Garden are designed to be used year round in the garden. Optimum “glow time” will likely be experienced more frequently in the summer months than in the winter months. Do expect a change in glow time during darker months.
