A solar lighting apparatus comprising:
- a controlling portion, having a first conjugating surface, a button with a plurality of lights, and electrodes hidden in the controlling portion;
- and
- an energy collecting portion, having a second conjugating surface, a solar panel to absorb sunlight, and corresponding receiving holes to receive the electrodes of the controlling portion;
- wherein a magnetic force is generated between the controlling portion and the energy collecting portion to tightly bind these two portions, and the electrodes are attracted out from the controlling portion by said magnetic force to plug into the receiving holes to form an energy conversion circuit to convert solar energy collected by the solar panel to other forms of energy.
A method for attaching a solar lighting system to a substrate comprising steps of:
- separating the solar lighting system into two portions:
- a controlling portion and an energy collecting portion, wherein the controlling portion has a first conjugating surface, a button with a plurality of lights, and electrodes hidden therein, while the energy collecting portion has a second conjugating surface and a solar panel;
- disposing the energy collecting portion on one side of said substrate, wherein the solar panel of the energy collecting portion faces the sunlight, while the second conjugating surface thereof is facing one side of the substrate;
- disposing the controlling portion on the other side of the substrate, wherein the first conjugating surface faces the second conjugating surface;
- and
- integrating the controlling portion and energy collecting portion to form the solar lighting system on the substrate.
