The cost per unit multiplied on a large scale would make this highly inefficient when compared to using a standalone solar powered battery charger. This is a neat idea, but I don't think it is realistically viable. I’d be worried about the heat, and also I don’t see it as a very viable option.

Use a temp stable bat compound like solid Li-Poly, which doesn't have the memory charging issues. They'd be expensive but should last. Of course the first post on all groundbreaking technologies which would threaten existing markets are negative, I have never seen a cooler product which would touch upon more markets than this one. Hey dude- Make a website and start selling them. Recharging your batteries on the windowsill is awesome. OMG! make these, The US market will eat them up, offer them for sale at walmart.

You do not put any battery in the sun. Plus, it would be better to but the solar cells in a place where the product can use them will the battery is hidden inside what ever product. That is pretty funny, the batteries we use like the same temperatures as humans, do you think batteries have human DNA? Yea, this is not doable, batteries do not like HEAT or cold for that matter.

Instead of buying these, which will take days to charge, why not use solar cells to their full potential by putting them where they will always be generating energy when the sun is out? i.e. on a roof or somewhere else hooked into the grid. the same problem arises with solar cells on any small electronics, all of which is gimmicky.
