How long do solar Christmas lights stay on? The amount of time solar Christmas lights stay on, as well as how brightly they shine, depends on how much sunlight they receive and, accordingly, how much energy the batteries have stored. If the batteries are fully charged, the lights shine for about eight hours.
If we use a 50 amp hour battery for this example. . . DIVIDE 50 amp hours [required to fully charge the battery] by the 1.25 amp output of the solar panel = 40 hours of direct sunlight to charge the battery.Then add another 10% of time to his number, so figure 44 hours. You need to provide many more details.   So assuming that the panel voltage is reasonable, the panel is clean, it is sunny and the panel is pointed at the sun. Then â¦ it will take about 225/7 hours to charge the battery. About 300 hrs.
