The SPCU includes a 20 watt solar panel, a sunlight controller, and a 12 volt, 12Ah battery. The battery is charged during the hours of sun light. The controller is set for Dusk to Dawn operation (ON at sunset and OFF at sunrise). Other settings can be field set. The controller and battery are housed in a weather-proof enclosure and therefore can be installed outdoors.
