About this product
The problem this kit solves is the classic one: you go away for a few days, and the pots dry out faster than the weather forecast promised. Per the listing, the device combines a 6V 2W solar panel, a built-in 1800mAh battery and a timed watering pump, aimed at potted plants on balconies and windowsills. What to check when setting up: place the panel where it gets real sun for most of the day (the 2W panel is the energy budget for the whole schedule), set the drip rate per pot size rather than one setting for all, and keep the water container level with or above the pump side as the system relies on a steady supply. What you still provide yourself: the water reservoir, tubing routing to each pot, and a spot sheltered from wind so the panel stays aimed. In overcast winters the solar input drops — for shaded balconies, ask the seller whether USB top-up charging is supported.
