This is a project where it is solar powered, and it charges a battery and turns on 12v led lights or leds wired with resistors in the garden, house, hallway etc. at dusk.
This circuit is really simple, shown above. It has 3 leds for different indicators;battery power,solar power and load on (dusk) or off.
On the left is a picture of the circuit encased with hot glue and placed in a small hood and mesh to prevent water going in it. This is placed in the garden to turn on garden lights.
It is hooked up to a small 15v solar panel and a poor 12v battery that i had laying around
