Frequently asked questions
Can I retrofit solar lights to an existing pole?
Yes, but there are a few key factors to consider before retrofitting solar lights to an existing pole:
- Structural integrity – The pole must be strong enough to support the weight of the solar light, including the battery and panel.
- Height and location – The pole’s height and positioning will affect solar exposure and overall system performance.
- Existing wiring – If the pole was previously wired for mains-powered lighting, you may need to remove or isolate the wiring safely.
- Mounting compatibility – Not all poles are compatible with solar lighting fixtures. Some may require adapters or modifications.
If you’re considering a retrofit, we recommend reading our detailed blog post: Can you retrofit solar lighting to an existing pole?
How do I dispose of the batteries in my solar lights?
Proper battery disposal is crucial for environmental safety. As a member of the Australian Battery Recycling Initiative (ABRI), Green Frog Systems provides a recycling program for used batteries. You have the option to:
- Drop off your used batteries at our facility or any ABRI member location.
- Send them to us for proper recycling.
For full details on our battery recycling scheme, visit this page.
When do the batteries in my solar lights need replacing?
The batteries in Green Frog Systems’ solar lights typically last around five years, depending on the battery type usage and environmental conditions. Signs that your battery may need replacing include:
- The light is not staying on as long as it used to.
- The brightness has noticeably dimmed.
- The system fails to charge adequately, even after multiple sunny days.
If you need replacement batteries, contact us for compatible options.
Do solar lights work in cloudy weather?
Yes, but performance can vary. Solar lights will still generate power on cloudy days, but at a reduced rate. Green Frog Systems’ solar lighting is designed with:
- High-efficiency solar panels that maximise energy capture even in low-light conditions.
- Large battery capacity to store extra power for days with limited sunlight.
- Intelligent power management to regulate brightness and extend runtime during periods of low solar input.
If your area experiences frequent cloudy weather, we recommend a system with a larger battery reserve or an adaptive dimming feature.
What maintenance do solar lights require?
Solar lighting systems are low-maintenance but benefit from occasional checks:
- Clean the solar panel every few months to remove dust and debris.
- Inspect the battery after 3–5 years and replace if performance declines.
- Check for shading—growing trees or new structures may reduce sunlight exposure over time.
- Ensure all connections are secure if the light has been installed in a high-wind area.
By following these simple steps, you can maximise the lifespan and performance of your solar lighting.
