Have you ever wondered why your solar lights dim out so quickly? They may not be getting enough sunlight. Ordinary solar lights did not work in my back yard. There was too much shade. So, I created a new category of solar lights that work great in the shade. I also started a new company named Shade Solar.

And now thanks to Etsy, you can buy solar lights by Shade Solar. Be sure to match the shade category of your yard to the solar light you need. Each solar light is associated with one or more shade categories as shown on the product pages.

For example:
Shade-1 lights are for Category 1 shade or full sun. The shadow of a house may be Category 1 shade.
Shade-2 lights are for Category 1, Category 2 or full sun. Under a tree may be Category 2 shade.
Shade-3 lights are for Category 1, Category 2, Category 3 or full sun. A forest may be Category 3 shade.

Shade Solar solar lights have special solar panels, batteries, and electronics. My patented design lets the solar panel be in the shade (or sun). These are not like other solar lights that have a long wire that lets you put the solar panel in a sunny spot. Instead, these are easier to install because the entire solar light and the solar panel go in the shade. Those other lights did not work for me because the sunny spot in my yard was far away from where I needed the solar light - and the sunny spot moved with the seasons.

I also tried low-voltage landscape lights. But I discovered that buried wires and transformers are very expensive, even before the cost of electrical power. And moving or replacing a low-voltage light is not easy!

For me, Shade Solar solar lights offer the better solution. They illuminate my shaded yard and I don’t have to worry about finding sunny spots or installing low-voltage equipment. Plus, these solar lights are easier to move or replace.
