Abstract

A window-mounted solar light having: a housing defining a front surface and an opposite back surface; a solar panel disposed on the front surface; a suction cup disposed on the front surface for readily removably attaching the housing to the window; a rechargeable battery disposed inside the housing, the rechargeable battery being electrically coupled with the solar panel; a light emitter disposed on the housing, the light emitter being electrically coupled to the solar panel via the rechargeable battery; wherein during daytime, the solar panel converts sunlight traveling through the window into energy that is stored in the rechargeable battery; and, wherein the energy stored in the rechargeable battery is selectively supplied to the light emitter to produce light.
