Solar Cell charges single NiCd AAThis is the reverse engineered circuit diagram from a popular mass produced solar light. The light automatically turns on when there is no light falling upon the solar cell(like a light sensor switch), so the parts count is minimal. The charging circiut is not particularly efficient since the battery must charge through a plain diode.
