I have a light which sits on a gate surrounded by tall trees, with perhaps a max of 3 hours of sunlight in the afternoon. I added a small 2v, 30mA solar cell which is glued on facing West. It is simply added in series with the existing one. I also put a 2000mAH Sanyo battery in. Now even on overcast and rainy days, I get a good light showing the gate.
