This solar base lighting system USES power leds for illumination.Solar energy is first converted to direct current by solar photovoltaic cells and then used to charge batteries.The solar energy stored in the cell USES power leds to light the base at night. A collection of cells or battery is represented by a collection of long and short parallel lines. In both cases, the long line is representative of the positive terminal of the energy source and the short line represents the negative terminal.
