I want to know how you can store energy using a solar panel. The energy stored needs to be stored so that a light or laptop charger can plug in to it.
Solar panel is not a energy storing device, rather it converts light energy to electrical energy and this energy either can directly used to run instruments or can be fed to battery for storing. The working of the solar panel is like the inverse action of a LED, i.e. a LED converts electrical energy in to light where as a solar panel converts light energy in to electrical energy, basically it is a P-N junction diode.
probably a deep discharge lead calcium batteries, with a switching regulator cycloconverter or cycloinverter output to match the current and voltage requirements of the operated device.
Rechargable Battaries. You can get a wide range of them- which one you should use is depends on the capacity of your solar panel.
Batteries my man... but you will need a charge controller the silicon panel will produce dc and you will need an inverter for an ac light
