Evaluation: Solar Light Prototype


Evaluation: Solar Light Prototype

I have made a solar rechargeable garden light that charges in the presence of sunlight and turns on when it is dark. The box which contains the circuitry and wires is a box made of aluminium and has brackets on each of the side corners which are held in with rivets. On the bottom of the box is a lid which can be unscrewed and removed if necessary. There is a solar panel which sits on top of the box and charges the battery inside the box, which in turn powers the circuit and LEDs which are placed on either side of the solar panel. The battery inside the box is contained by a battery holder which is glued onto the inside wall of the box opposite the circuit which is also glued to the side of the box.
