I made this small 12 volt 4 LED (approx. 1w) solar emergency /general purpose light for the bedroom. I used a CD case as the housing for the light. It is powered by a 1.8w solar panel and a 7.5 amp hour battery. The solar charge controller has a timer function to control the LED and is programmable. I can make adjustments to the light output by adding more LEDs or a bigger solar panel if necessary. Google LED calculator for wiring and resistors needed.

A paper solar cell circuit is shown powering an LCD clock when illuminated. The entire integrated paper photovoltaic is then fed through a roll-to-roll office laser-jet printer. The resulting ink spells MIT on the device side of the paper array, which then continues to power the LCD clock. The clock circuitry is shown at the end of the video, which is powered by the photovoltaic alone and regulates a constant voltage to the display for variations in light intensity. The paper photovoltaic array is illuminated from below with simulated solar illumination.

The Solar Electric Light Fund powers drip irrigation with solar technology so farmers can cultivate income-generating crops year-round.
In the Sahel region of Africa, people depend on local agriculture for income and nutrition. But the region experiences erratic rain and long dry periods and there is no electricity for irrigation. These conditions deepen poverty and malnutrition.
The Solar Electric Light Fund pairs solar power and drip irrigation so people can grow nutritious crops in every season. Solar-powered pumps move water to reservoirs at each agricultural site, and gravity distributes the water to crops. A project in two villages has helped provide one ton of much-needed produce to the region each week and increased household incomes by as much as 50% or more.

Power your fan after dark:
The addition of the Solar Controller with Dual Mode Technology will enable your Solar Powered Attic Fan to run after sunset or when there is no light available from the sun.
When there is no sunlight available to power the fan and the Solar Controller has the optional house power connection enabled, the Solar Controller will cycle house electricity for 8 minutes every half-hour in order to power the fan. This will allow your attic temperature to continue to drop after sunset and help remove the hot, stagnant air that can build up on those warm summer evenings.
Real-time status updates:
The remote control readout on the Solar Controller sends a radio signal through your walls and ceiling to give you a real-time status update on fan operation to let you know if your fan is running and if the power source is from the solar panel or the house electricity.
No more questioning if your fan is running! This patent pending, industry-first advancement will give you the peace-of-mind that your fan is functioning and your attic is being ventilated.
An intelligent device:
The Solar Controller monitors both temperature and humidity optimizing your fans operation for maximum performance in all weather conditions.
The Solar Controller intelligently limits the amount of electricity used to power the fan, so it is a perfect alternative to traditional electric powered vents. With the built-in temperature and humidity sensors, the Solar Controller can monitor attic conditions and utilize solar power or house electricity to optimize the run-time of the fan by removing excessive heat and moisture.
