First you need to install a solar panel that can receive the most sunlight in your area (in North America it is usually in a south facing direction). Then you feed a wire from the panel into the lighting hardware. You should buy a solar panel that is adequate enough for the size of room you wish to provide light for. There are many local vendors and online web sites that you can buy Solar Lights from.

Once your indoor lighting has been properly installed you will be able to use it both at night and during day., However during the day you do not usually need much light. At night there should be enough energy stored up from the solar power to last the whole night if you need it. This source of indoor lighting is becoming very popular with back yard building and barns on farms because there is less wiring required. solar powered garden lights3 Solar Powered Lighting

  3. I love it! easy to install with all plug-in wiring, PVC frame and charged during a snow storm! Obviously, not at full streength, but no amorphous solar panel do not charge in over cast skies.

    I use them to run my RV as I live off the grid. I live in 2 buses and an RV and this is a nice start.

    I like it so much I ordered a second one!
