These beacons incorporate a solar panel and battery charging system that is mounted directly on top of a standard flashing beacon housing.
Some of the advantages of a solar powered beacon are:
The solar powered beacons operate as other conventional beacons. The battery will work approximately 30 days without a charge from the solar panel.
