Is this unit waterproof?

I don't believe so. The connections for the wires are not protected from the elements. There's no evident attempt to 'waterproof' it. Great unit in covered area.

I presume you are asking about the controls, in which case I would say no. The solar collector itself is weatherproof, and they do sell an add-on wire set with the correct connections to allow you to easily install the collector further from the controls and batteries.

This unit does not work anywhere so it does not matter if it is waterproof!

No, this unit is not water resistant. If you want to use outdoors, you will need to put it a water resistant bag. Some people use sandwich bag.

The unit is sealed and weatherproof. We DO make sure the unit is dry before packing it back up but that's to prevent mold.

This unit is waterproof. The most important issue is to be sure it is exposed to maximum sunlight to fully charge the battery. If you place it too high the motion sensor wont work.Thanks

I think it's water proof. I mounted mine on the chassis and it is working fine. Only had in use for a few weeks now.

No it is not waterproof. Most of the time the receiver box is the part that is waterproof.

The unit is weather resistant so it should be fine in normal rain, but it is not water-proof, so it obviously shouldn't be submerged.

The unit is not water proof but could easily be put in a water proof container.

It is waterproof...I leave mine out year round...in harsh below zero weather to 100+...not a problem.

No, I could be wrong but i had thought it was waterproof. I rinse mine out after every use and it's fine after almost a year.

I do not know if it is "officially" weatherproof but mine got rained on last September (albeit light rain) and unit was not affected.

Yes, it is water resistant but I do not think it is waterproof. I leave mine outside during rain and it seems unaffected. I would not submerge it in water, however. The technical specs in the manual say it is operational between -20 C to 60 degrees C and between 5% - 90% humidity.

I think that the unit is water resistant which is NOT waterproof. The light is recharged via a USB slot and therefore prone to some possible water seepage. There is a rubber insert that slots into the USB port but that can be dislodged if not inserted carefully and therefore could expose the unit to possible water leakage.

While there are no waterproof markings on the unit (I just checked), I don't think I would stick it outside unprotected. I think it would be fine if it was protected from moisture.

Can be outside BUT electrical cord and unit cannot get wet. Keep in a covered dry area.

Absolutely. I just checked with my contractor and he says 'yes'......water away.We love this unit and it is very quiet and efficient.
