MAILBOX HAVING SOLAR POWER

摘要

A mailbox has an interior cavity with an open front and a closed back opposite the open front. A hinged and moveable door covers the open front. An exterior surface is opposite the interior cavity and the exterior surface contains an exterior panel. The mailbox also contains a rechargeable battery. A solar panel is disposed on the mailbox and arranged to generate electrical energy for recharging the rechargeable battery. The solar panel is operatively connected to the rechargeable batter to form a circuit. A first light source is disposed within the interior cavity of the mailbox. The first light source is operatively connected to the rechargeable battery and is powered thereby. A photocell is disposed on an exterior panel of the mailbox and configured to block power to the first light source when the photocell is illuminated. Thus, the first light source only provides light when the photocell is not illuminated.
