Consol Solar Jar (CSJ) Technical Specifications
Suntoy was approached by Consol Glass to design a solar light in the lid of a one‐litre classic preserve jar.Design
considerations included durable electronics, rechargeable batteries, LED lights and a solar panel.Suntoy designed
a unique on-off switch that has no moving parts and is waterproof the first light switch of its kind registered
with patent authorities.The Consol Solar Jar is primarily a reading light and portable lantern.It is ideal for
communities living without electricity and offgrid.It also inspires creative table décor as a Theatre in a Jar.On a
clear sunny day,a full charging offers six to twelve hours of light.On an overcast day,a full charging offers
approximately one to three hours of light.An idea that sparked illuminated activations truly is bottled sunshine.
The principle is simple and seductively clever: it stores energy during the day and releases light at night. It’s a fun
and sustainable alternative light supply that makes it easy to go green!

1 x circular solar PV panel,*3V 135mA
From the outside and the users perspective the two are identical.
2 x 1.2V 600mAh AAA NiMh batteries
4 x high‐bright LEDs
Fitted onto PC board and LED board, which fits into the lid of the 1litre glass jar.
Rubber seal ensures no moisture or liquid can enter the bottle (lid adequately screwed onto bottle)
Unique magnetic switch: no moving parts = no wear and tear
* (The CSJ1 had a 4V 100mA panel with conventional electronic components. The new improved CSJ2 has a microprocessor and a 3V 135mA solar panel resulting in a 30% faster solar charge time.)

The unit’s lifetime depends on the battery life.
The batteries are rated to give 500 cycles (full charge-discharge) or 18 months of continuous use.
If the units are only partially discharged every day, the life expectancy can go up to
±4 years.

The units can be stored between ‐20 and +35 degrees Celsius for prolonged
periods of time.
To protect battery life and ensure always‐available charge, it is recommended to
expose the units to
4 hours of direct sunlight every 4 months.
Where possible, do not store in a dark place (e.g. a cupboard) for extended
periods of time, as this will result in the batteries discharging.
Always charge the unit before storing.
