will a green filter still collect sunlight?

I'm trying to make a sun jar. I've got myself a flip-top jar. the garden light is still pending. but I have a problem (or do I?)- the lid is green. will the green glass still allow the solar panels to get power? or will I have to do something else?

That's hard to say for sure. Any thick glass lid over a solar panel is going to have some serious effects. I would recommend against it, although it may still work. Give it a shot, if you've got plenty of sunlight you might just be alright.
