How to Set Up Solar Lighting
Solar lights are used to accent various parts of your yard at night. Each solar light has a solar panel and a special battery that will collect and store energy from the sun. During the day, the battery is charged by the energy the solar panel collects. At night, the battery releases the energy into the light bulb of the solar light. Many solar light batteries are able to store a few days' worth of energy at a time. This means that if you have a few cloudy days in a row, your solar lights will continue to work at night.

Solar lights often come in packs, with the battery already installed.
Some solar lights hang on poles. In this case, take the light off of the pole and push the pole into the ground. Then, hang the light back on the pole.
