does it require sun&gt;?

Yes, it requires sun. Exactly how much depends on which plants you're growing, but it's probably best to find a sunny window. Additionally, you'd probably do better to find cheaper self-watering pots. These are really expensive, yet really tiny.

The solar charge rate is very slow. Depending on bright sunlight and several days I guess you could.

No. The solar panel needs direct sunlight to fully charge and function properly. I had this same issue and so I relocated solar light to get direct sun and purchased a battery operated light for the area not receiving direct sun.

Mine is set up to get direct sunlight because that just happened to be where I needed them, but I don't think it was necessary. As long as it is not under shade all day it should be fine.

No solar panel needed. The cylinder operates off of heat. When heated the wax expands and opens a roof panel on our greenhouse. It closes as it cools. We have 2, opening roof panels on our greenhouse.

No it is not solar powered... You'll need an electrical plug but it's a great umbrella , adds great ambience !

Yes, we have sold many to the "non-sunshine" states. Its run cycle will just be limited when the sun goes down (since its charge wouldnt ever reach 100%)

It is "Solar" powered, and the sun is the equivalent of a high wattage light bulb. If you used a florescent, LED or any bulb less than 100 WATT, it will not work very well. It will function great near a high wattage bulb or in the sun.

Yes. In full sun that little panel is a beast. One issue has come up with the USB connector, it is a little tricky to plug in sometimes. Hope this helps.

Patti,Sunlight is filtered through which allows lighting during the day. No sun screen is needed. Sincerely,Exclusive Home and Furniture Inc

it definitely needs sunlight! its also very bright. I actually get about 3 hrs of sunlight where i placed it. its placed above my front door, no more fumbling with keys and i don't have to use my electricity.

Yes, I would think so since it's solar based. I have not tried it in non direct sunlight.

Probably not, it does need direct sunlight to charge the solar panel...too bad because this is a great, fun nighttime ducky that makes you smile. You could try it, but you probably would have to leave it in the sun outside of the screened area to collect sun and put it back in the pool.

No sure. I know it required at least 5 hours of sun a day. But you can plant it in a pot and place it indoor near windows with the most day light during the day and no worry about the zones.

Mine didn't. I couldn't keep mine alive in no, mid or high sun. Hope this helps.
