I know what you mean is something driven from a battery charged by solar power or similar but I immediately had the joke about solar powered torches come into my mind. You know, kind of like the gas leak device detection device which is illuminated by a candle.

I think I read somewhere that in Germany someone had worked out that the grant for solar power generated by a home was so much higher than conventional grid power than you could earn an income by powering solar panels in your home using bulbs powered from the mains.
