Since the electricity goes out somewhat often at our house, we have a solar-powered light that we love. It's like a very bright flashlight that just has to have its solar panel in the sun for a few hours every now and then to keep going strong. We also have a solar-powered cat around our place. Betsy requires approximately two hours of daily charging in full sunlight (best accomplished over 2-3 charging sessions spread throughout the day) in order to function properly. On the rare days when it's cloudy and/or rainy all day, she huddles in a tiny ball and shivers and can't function properly until the sun comes out. I suppose when a cat has enjoyed sunny weather in the 80s (Fahrenheit) for her entire life, it's hard to keep warm when you're only six pounds of bones and silky, thin fur. Not to mention the fact that you can't recharge your batteries and are running on empty with the warning light for disaster on, blinking wildly in your little brain.
