Solar lights are completely self contained unit, which includes photovoltaic panels to collect energy from the sun, the battery system to store this energy, and lamp unit that emits light. There are various other components in the most integrated solar outdoor lighting systems such as photo cells triggered by the lamp to turn on at dusk and off at dawn.

lights in the solar lights are usually LED or Light Emitting Diode. Each LED produces brightness equivalent to 2 W incandescent bulb, or 1/20th of the 40 watt bulb. better to have more solar light-emitting diodes, and thus are brighter.

high quality solar light can collect enough sunlight even in high-latitude winter stay in twelve hours at a time. Some of the cheaper units are of such low quality that they can barely stay on a couple of hours, even in midsummer. Even high-quality solar light would be hard pressed to give a lot of light in a position such as Juneau, Alaska, which is just over 58 degrees latitude, and cloudy 70% of the time.

battery system is generally conventional AA batteries, and it is advised that they are good quality, such as Duracell or Energizer batteries are used in the systems. Some systems use more exotic and advanced NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) battery that can handle continuous charging better than older, more traditional NiCad (nickel cadmium) units.

For some specialized purposes, such as roads, solar light units are available with a feature motion sensor, so you just turn on when someone is passing through. The advantage of this system is that it can be much more than a LED light that is designed to stay on all night, and therefore are much brighter. Most of the "all night" solar lights are generally so low that they are really only suitable for marking areas and decorative purposes.
