hiya everyone. I am fairly new to electronics so sorry if I am over complicating what I am saying. Ok, for school we need to create a light. I want my light to have a solar cell, battery and the mains as the input energy. Is there a way to make a circuit which when plugged into the mains, turns on the light and charges the battery at the same time, but when there isn't a power supply from the mains, it charges the battery using solar energy? In order to control which input power to use, I was thinking of using a switch.
Here are the components I was going to use. I am not sure if the light will work.
~9v bulb
~20v solar cell
-battery
-3 way switch.
So is all of the above possible or is it too far fetched for a beginner? If the components needed are wrong or not compatible could you please suggest other ideas. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks.
