How does a Sun Jar work?

How does it work? When the jar is placed in sunlight, the solar cell creates an electrical current that charges the battery over the course of the day. This energy is then used to power the LED lamp inside the jar. The light emitted is diffused by the frosted jar and gives the appearance of sunlight.

How does a Consol Solar Jar work?

The Consol Solar Jar™ is a battery-powered glass lantern charged by an integrated solar panel. It stores energy during the day and releases light at night. On a clear sunny day, a full charging offers 6 to 12 hours of light, and on an overcast day, it offers from 1 to 3 hours of runtime.

How do you capture sunlight?

Sunlight first hits the larger mirror and reflects to the smaller mirror placed a short distance away. Then the light from the smaller mirror reflects back, this time being focused into the vertex of the larger mirror. By confining sunlight into this small region, scientists can ideally trap solar radiation.
