Regular batteries will power a solar light until they run out of power. But regular batteries can't be charged from the solar cells unless rechargeable batteries are used instead. There is also a bit of circuitry involved.

Does solar energy charge batteries?
Yes, if the batteries are rechargeable
How do people get solar energy?
solar panels that charge batteries.
Can you use regular batteries in solar lights or should they be rechargeable?
Yes you can use regular batteries in solar lights but it won't work on some solar lights like the inwood solar lights but some inwood solar lights can run on regular batteries. But some solar lights can only work on rechargeable batteries and come on at dusk and off at dawn or after six hours.
Where can you get batteries for alpan solar lights?
does any solar light batteries work for Alpan
How solar energy is used to run cars?
By using solar energy to charge the batteries
How solar car works?
I think they have Photovoltic cells that produce a DC current from sun light to charge batteries, then the batteries power an electric motor that turns the wheels to power the vehicle.
Is sunlight used to charge batteries?
It can be used with a solar battery charger.
What batteries do you use for solar lights?
It can be rechargeable or regular but it won't work on some solar lights if your solar light don't work put a new battery in it if it still don't work put a rechargeable battery in it then it will work.
What energy transformation's in a solar powered calculator?
The energy transformation that is in a solar powered calculator is:Device: Solar-powered calculatorInput:Solar energy and Chemical energyOutput: LightThere is 2 ways a Solar-powered calculator is worked by: Solar power and batteries. In the batteries there is chemical. On the solar powered calculator there is a little solar panel. The calculator needs light to power it up. If there is no light the batteries would be it's backup. The numbers are shown by light that the power or batteries and solar power would produce.
Can solar lights work in the dark?
Yes, the panels charge batteries that will allow it to work in the dark, until the charge runs out. Yes. They put out light in the dark of night and then they charge up when the Sun comes up. Solar lights collect solar photon energy during the day through their solar panel. This energy is converted into electricity and stored in the rechargeable (usually Ni-Cad) batteries. A photocell sensor detects whether there is sunlight available or not and acts to switch the lights on based on this. The electricity stored in the battery is regulated by a control board and, at night, the charged batteries provide power for the LED light. Once daylight returns, the panels repeat the process of charge.
How do solar yard lights work at night?
Solar lights have a solar panel, control board, photocell sensor, Ni-Cad batteries and a LED (light emitting diode) bulb. The solar panel captures the sun's photonic energy during the day. This electrical current is stored in the Ni-Cad (nickel-cadmium) batteries. The photocell sensor detects available light and the control board regulates flow into the battery. When the photcell sensor detects darkness, the charge stored in the battery is released to power the LED bulb during the evening. Of a morning, the light is switched off to recharge the batteries. Multi crystalline powered solar lights need full sun to charge however amorphous solar panels are still able to charge in overcast conditions.
How are satellites energized?
By solar panels, these will charge batteries, so they can operate if the are in the shadow of the earth.
