Best Answer

Most probably yes. If the flare is massive enough, and if the battery were in an active electrical circuit, it's possible that the battery could be damaged or destroyed. But if the battery is NOT in an active circuit, it'll probably be OK.

How do solar garden lights work?

Solar garden lights work by taking the energy from the sun's rays and converting it with batteries stored inside of the garden lights.


Will a solar power work at night time?

No, you can store power during the day in batteries, or heat sinks, and use that at night, but you can't gather solar power at night.


What is a solar lamp?

Well, a Solar Lamp is a normal lamp but does not work with electricity or batteries - it uses the suns energy. So it charges during the day and then uses up that energy at night or in dark places


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.


Is solar energy a success or failure?

It's a success, in the way that it is true that solar energy does produce energy. However, there are many problems with this source of energy. For example, on cloudy days, it won't work as well, and at night it won't work at all. Some people save energy in batteries for nighttime from solar energy, but batteries can't hold all that much energy, and once they are used they have to be disposed of, which pollutes the Earth. So it does provide sufficient energy, given that it is sunny. Though, it isn't very widely used. Out of all the sources of energy, I believe only 0.5% is solar.

Will your car work after a solar flare?

Unlikely.. At least, in a solar flare, electronics are destroyed. If your car did not run on any electricity, it would probably be fine.

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.

Can a solar powered calculator work in a dark room?

No, not unless it has batteries as well as solar panels. Most calculators have solar power and batteries now. But you wouldn't be able to see the screen if you were in a dark room anyway.

How do solar power stations work?

Solar power stations work by using a series of solar cells to convert energy from the Sun into electricity. It is then stored in batteries or transferred to the power grid.
