Hey all, I have this idea of implementing solar panel along the pathway of my front yard with LEDs light surrounding it so that during the day the panel will be storing energy from the sun and at night, it will light up the LED lights to provide light for passerby. Do you think is feasible?

    I am not sure I understand your suggestion/question.

    Obviously, there are ship loads of solar powered sidewalk lighting... And even new street lamps that have motion detectors (stay dim until somebody walks by--saves energy and costs of power).

    welcome to the forum.
    i do have to correct one thing here as you are thinking solar panels store electrical power. they don't. batteries do that.
