Why could I not just take a solar light apart and put it in a mason jar like this? All the 'ibles I've seen so far all involve batteries. If I frost the jar and put the light inside with the solar panel, wouldn't it work? Just wondering. Not an electrician! :-)

http://www.instructables.com/id/Home-made-Sun-Jar/ I happened to be flipping through the various versions of the "sun jars" on the site, and I think this one is the easiest... or at least from what I can see. If you were able to get a large mason's jar, and then purchase the largest solar panel to fit in the top, there ya go. Add some basic(?) electrical skills and you've got a great solar jar. I'm sure it could be built by purchasing components... I know I'm not that knowledgeable yet, but I'm sure there someone who could break it down.

This SuckUK Sun Jar is already well known for its very tiny solar panel and hence poor charging. You can dig in reviews on Amazon, everyone says the same thing. However, the idea is great. If only the solar cell was bigger.
