Do you have some solar lights that went out and wondering what the problem could be? You’ll find this article helpful
Here we’ve identified some of the major reasons your solar lights suddenly stopped working and tips to get them back up and working.
1-They are not receiving enough Light.

You have to place your Solar Garden Light in a place with direct Sunlight so, It can charge their Batteries.
They at least need six hours of direct sunlight everyday and it also depends on the sun intensity, type of Solar panel and battery.
2- Batteries Lifespan Has come to an End.

In most cases, solar-powered lights when a battery is dead, so you might want to take a look and see whether they are worn out or too old.
Batteries that are worn out may start to erode, resulting in acid leakage, and this could cause permanent damage to the solar lamp’s electrical components. These batteries also cannot hold an adequate charge to light up solar lamps, and if they can, not for so long. Therefore, if dead batteries are the culprit of your solar lights not working, you need to replace them.
3-Solar Lights Have a Faulty Sensor.

A sensor reacts to darkness allowing the solar light to go off during the day and turn on at night. But none of this will happen with an ineffective sensor unless you do it manually by bypassing the sensors, and you probably don’t have all the time for that.
If the solar light has a faulty sensor, it won’t differentiate between day and night. But how do you tell it is the cause of your solar lights not working? You can check during the nighttime by covering the sensor with your hand or cloth, and if it brings to light, it is working perfectly fine. On the contrary, it will show no light if it is defective.
