Do Solar Lights Need Sunlight or Just Daylight?

Solar lights are a great way to save money and reduce your carbon footprint, but they do require sunlight to charge. So if you're thinking about buying solar lights, you may be wondering if they'll work on cloudy days or in the winter. Will they need direct sunlight? The short answer is no. Solar lights don't need direct sunlight in order to work; they just need daylight (which means that overcast days are fine). You should still leave them out during the day so that there's time for them to recharge their batteries before nightfall!

If you're asking this question, you're probably wondering if your solar lights will charge when it's cloudy.

The answer is yes! It may take a little longer to get enough power to last through the night, but they'll still work in most cases.

The only time you should be concerned about whether or not your lights are getting enough sun is when there are heavy storms passing by, if it's completely overcast outside (which means no sunlight), or if they're placed in a shaded area underneath your patio or trees.

Solar lights need sunlight to recharge. This means that as long as there is daylight — even cloudy days — you'll have light at night.

Our solar powered lights turn on automatically and stay lit for 8-12 hours, even on most overcast days!
