Introduction
Solar lamps are artificial light fittings that are portable. They are made up of LED lamps, photovoltaic solar panels, and a solar powered rechargeable battery. Solar lamps are usually meant for outdoor purposes such as in the garden or lawn lighting. They get charged during the day and the saved up energy is used up at night. Depending on the amount of sunlight it has charged up during the day determines how long they will remain illuminated at night. Most of the solar lamps are automatic (but also include on, off, or automatic button). By evening time, it turns on automatically and turns off in the morning.
