Abstract: A solar power station for providing illumination or a signal generally including a storage battery-powered signaling element, a solar generator for recharging the storage battery and a bracket assembly for supporting the remainder of the components. The bracket assembly is lightweight and supports the solar generator in an orientation to provide adequate exposure to ambient light in a wide variety of sun positions. The signaling element is disposed substantially above the solar generator in order to minimize obstructions therebetween. The apparatus is adapted to be self-contained, to be independent in operation, and to be left unattended for substantial periods of time.
