This project took up most of my semester. I learned how to install, calculate, etc solar panels from scratch. The neat thing about this project is that it is green. It is a nightlight charged during the day by the sun. The two pods glow a vibrant lime color with slashes of pinks and blues when the light is turned on. Otherwise the whole object is a soft off-white color. The lights turn on when the solar panels do not receive enough voltage from sunlight or ambient light. So it automatically turns itself on. You never have to touch it. It is also very sensitive, if i shadow the panels with my hand, the LEDs will turn on. I love this little guy
