Consol Solar Jar

The Consol Solar Jar – built by Sonnenglas

Sonnenglas builds the Consol Solar Jar. It is a slightly adapted version, based on our Generation 6 – the same principle, and fully compatible with our SOMO solar light. The Consol Solar Jar itself is available exclusively from Consol.

New light for your Consol Solar Jar

The principle is the same as in our Sun Jar: it catches sun by day and gives warm light by night. When you want a new light for your jar, as a replacement or as an upgrade, take our SOMO Classic. It fits the Consol Solar Jar.

SOMO Classic

  • 100 lumens of warm white light (3000K)
  • Up to 28 hours of light on medium
  • Charged by the sun or by USB-C
  • Dimmable

Keep the glass. Upgrade the light.

The Upgrade programme is open to Consol Solar Jar owners too: you get a voucher on a new SOMO. You may send us your old module, but you don't have to.
