To make solar lights, you'll need a few components like solar panel, rechargeable batteries, LEDs, and a controller circuit. The solar panel absorbs sunlight to convert it into electrical energy, which is then stored in the batteries; at night, this stored energy powers the LED.

Satellites are powered primarily by solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity, although some specialized missions rely on radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) for power in deep space or under extreme conditions.
