How to Store Solar Lights

Solar lights are most commonly used as lighting decoration in a garden or along a sidewalk. During the day, the solar panel on the top of the light absorbs solar energy and turns it into electricity to recharge the internal batteries of the light. After the sun goes down, the sensor in the light turns on and the light shines. Solar lighting is safe for the environment and requires no electrical wiring. Does this Spark an idea?
