Solar Mate Kits can provide essential light and electrical power to any outdoor buildings such as sheds, workshops, summer houses, stables, agricultural buildings etc. A Solar Mate kit is quick and easy to install, requiring no special tools and can be operating within an hour.

Part P of the new building Regulations introduced in the UK in January 2005 require any outdoor electrical work to be completed by a qualified electrician but the Solar Mate kits can be installed easily by the DIYer without the need to comply with these regulations or expensive excavations.

The kit comprises a high power solar panel which is suitable for UK weather conditions and all the necessary fixings and cables to be up and running. Just add a car or caravan battery to complete the installation and get free electricity from solar power.
