Solar Christmas Lights will save you a considerable amount of money on your powerelectric bill at a time of year when cash can be tight.
Last night i was sat out in my garden having a ciggy. It was a clear night and almost full moon, it got me wondering can the Moon same as the sun when very bright power up any solar garden lights? I didnt have to use my security light where it was so bright with the moon. Any ideas? (i know the sun is behind the moon, so just wondering if its possible.)
cannot. The full moon gives us less than 2 milliwatt per square metre. 2 milliwatt is far too low and 1 square metre is pretty big. if you are just using the moonlight, probably you will need a very huge solar panel to do so.

The full moon at its best provides less light than a very cloudy day. The light will still be able to produce some current, but most likely not enough to charge them. You’d have more luck with street lights.
