Product Information
Full details
The Solar Hub 16 Expansion Kit (ARG-128934) is the ideal solution for homeowners and outdoor enthusiasts looking to extend their existing solar lighting infrastructure. It provides a convenient, off-grid power source that enhances illumination in sheds, garages, or outdoor areas without requiring mains electricity. While it offers a high-efficiency 5-watt crystalline panel, users should note that performance depends significantly on optimal placement and consistent direct sunlight exposure for daily charging.

FAQs
Does this kit work as a standalone system?
No, this is an expansion kit intended to be used with an existing Solar Hub system.
Can I use this with non-Solar brand batteries?
This kit is designed specifically for Solar Hub systems; using it with third-party components is not recommended and may cause compatibility issues.
How long will the LED bulb last?
The included 12-volt LED is energy-efficient and rated for thousands of hours of standard usage.
Is the system waterproof?
The solar panel is designed for outdoor weather resistance, but electrical hubs and connections should be protected from direct water submersion.
What if my cable isn't long enough?
The kit includes standard cabling for typical installations; if you require longer distances, contact Solar customer support for compatible extension cables.
Troubleshooting
Light fails to illuminate
Check all cable connections between the panel, the hub, and the bulb to ensure they are fully seated.
Dim lighting performance
Verify the solar panel is free of dirt and debris, and ensure it is receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight.
Battery not charging
Test the panel placement to ensure there is no incidental shading from buildings or trees during peak daylight hours.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Increases the capacity of your existing solar system
- Energy-efficient LED lighting reduces power consumption
- Complete kit includes all mounting hardware and cables
- Durable crystalline solar technology
Cons
- Requires an existing Solar Hub system to function
- Performance is strictly limited by daily sunlight duration
- Not intended for high-wattage primary household lighting
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first determine the optimal location for the solar panel using the provided wall or roof brackets to ensure it faces the sun without obstructions like tree cover or eaves. Connect the included cables from the panel to your existing controller/hub system. The LED bulb installs into any standard compatible 12-volt fixture provided within the hub ecosystem. To care for the system, periodically wipe the solar panel glass with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or grime, which can significantly decrease charging efficiency over time. Ensure all cable connections remain tight and dry to prevent corrosion.
