Does the Power Kit work in the shade?

In the shade, the Power Kit may collect a small amount of energy from ambient, reflected light, but it is designed primarily for direct sun exposure. If the Power Kit never gets any direct sun exposure during a deployment, it may not collect enough energy to keep its internal battery charged while powering a Song Meter, depending on your schedule and settings.

For the best results, position the Power Kit so that it gets the most possible sun exposure each day during your deployment. In strong sunlight, the "sun" LED on the back of the Power Kit will turn red.
