One fundamental requirement of any solar powered device is how the solar energy is going to be stored when it is either dark or the conditions are so poor that not much solar energy is being produced. The answer (for electrical devices) is some form of battery. Battery technology has developed in leaps and bounds in recent years and the capacity of solar powered batteries has improved tremendously. When coupled with intelligent selection of the devices powered by the solar battery then you will be able to get many hours use.
Solar powered batteries come in many different sizes and capacities. The trick is to select the right combination for your application. Solar batteries are generally referred to as high performance or deep cycle batteries.
