Axion Power International Inc. announced that it has released a new Off-Grid Solar Light Kit, their first consumer-ready product powered by the company's patented PbC® Batteries. Available for purchase online, the solar light kit mounts on a pole, but can also mount to a building. It is ideal for parking lots, farms, college campuses, outbuildings, parks or residential spaces in need of added outdoor lighting. Because the system works without connection to grid power, it provides a reliable option for emergency or supplementary lighting or as an added safety measure in otherwise low-light areas. Axion Power's PbC® Battery is the only lead carbon battery with an all-carbon negative electrode, making it a reliable solution for energy storage. The do-it-yourself solar kit works without connection to grid power. It is programmed to provide solar powered lighting throughout the night and rapidly recharge during the sunny daytime hours for use the very next evening.
