Solar Technology Hubi Work 16 Solar Expansion Kit
Description
Solar Technology Hubi Work 16 Expansion Kit - Extra Solar Power and Light for the Yard
The Solar Technology Hubi Work 16 Expansion Kit is an add-on pack containing a 5Wp solar panel and a 300 lumen LED strip light, designed to extend an existing Hubi Work 16 portable solar system. It is best for horse owners, smallholders and yard managers who need reliable light and charging in stables, field shelters, tack rooms and outbuildings with no mains electricity.
Use it to light a second stable, add task lighting over a feed bin or workbench, or simply gather more daylight so your Hubi unit recharges faster through the shorter winter days.

FAQ
Is this a complete solar system?
No. This is an expansion kit containing a 5Wp solar panel and a 300 lumen LED strip light, intended for use with an existing Hubi Work 16 unit.
What is it best for on a yard?
It is best for adding light to a second stable, tack room, feed store or field shelter, and for increasing the daylight collected by your Hubi Work 16 system.
How bright is the LED strip light?
The strip light is rated at 300 lumens, which suits general task lighting in a stable or store rather than floodlighting a whole arena or yard.
Does it need any mains wiring?
No mains wiring is required. The panel and light connect to the Hubi Work 16 portable solar unit.
Where should the solar panel be positioned?
In the sunniest available spot, angled towards the sun and clear of shading from trees, guttering or neighbouring buildings. Shade greatly reduces charging.
How do I look after it?
Keep the panel surface clean with a damp cloth, check connections regularly in dusty barn conditions, and store the light dry when not in use.
