Apparently someone forgot to put uv filters in the plastic covering the solar panels. After a year they're opaque and don't pass enough sunlight into the panels to charge the battery.Best Deals for SOLAR POWER NUMBERS HOUSE ADDRESS
This house address box is a great bargain for the price. The first one I bought lasted 6-years, which is pretty impressive considering that it withstood full sun, all day, every day, in the dry American Southwest. The numbers are easy to apply and it is easy to install. I have just bought a second one. The first one still works but the numbers and front panel were toasted from the sun!Honest reviews on SOLAR POWER NUMBERS HOUSE ADDRESS
The solar house number would be exposed to the elements . But since the housing is not water tight , moisture will enter it and ruin the battery within a short time . I ASSUMED (something one should not do !) , that a product like this would have to be designed to withstand moisture .The customer service agreed with me .

Great idea; lit house numbers, no need for wiring. Installed location is key you want good sun exposure, but some shielding from severe weather, sprinklers, etc.I just installed a couple weeks ago, in a good spot; and it's working great. It's winter, so the solar availability is less than ideal; yet I've seen that the unit is still brightly lit just before dawn.
Biggest challenge in installation was opening up the unit to put the stick-on plastic numbers on the opalescent plastic background. It has subtle markers on it, to help you align three, four, or five digits; but you still have to be careful to get them straight.
Of course it has its limits. Metal housing looks like it will stand up to weather well, but use common sense; don't put it where sprinklers or downspouts will douse it constantly. I wouldn't expect battery life to exceed 2-3 years; especially in cold climates; but replacement Ni-Cad's are readily available.
