Abstract: A solar energy device includes a solar panel array including a plurality of solar panels, each of the solar panels being divided into solar sub-panels. The solar sub-panels have unequal shapes but equal areas. Wires electrically connect the solar sub-panels and connect the solar panels. The solar panels are secured on a base which is formed with cutouts to receive the wires. The wires are fixed to the solar sub-panels but are free to move with respect to the base.

Abstract: A solar panel array includes a plurality of sub-arrays of solar panels. For each sub-array, the solar panels are electrically connected in series, have unequal shapes, and have equal areas.

Abstract: A lamp includes a light fixture mounted on a pole. The light fixture includes a transparent or translucent housing, and a solar energy collecting portion mounted on the light fixture. The solar energy collecting portion includes a top solar photovoltaic panel and side solar photovoltaic panels for collecting and converting incident solar energy to electricity. An electrical power source is mounted on the solar energy collecting portion. At least one LED light bulb is mounted on the base. The LED light bulb includes one or more LED lights mounted on a substrate provided with electrical wiring and housed in a transparent or translucent bulb enclosure. The substrate is mounted at one end of a slender stem.

Abstract: A lamp strip assembly including a lamp and an elongate reflector, forming a lamp set, mounted in an elongate housing, the elongate reflector including a curved reflective portion at one end thereof and the lamp being distanced axially away from that end, wherein the curved reflective portion is adapted to reflect light rays from the lamp through a light transmissive element of the elongate housing.

Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) light bulb including at least one LED mounted in a light bulb in electrical communication with an electrical contact adapted for connection to an electrical power source, and a refractor/reflector positioned in the light bulb to reflect outwards light rays emanating from the at least one LED, the refractor/reflector including a curved surface concavely curved with respect to the at least one LED.

Abstract: A structure including a gazebo including a plurality of vertical structural elements and partial walls constructed between adjacent vertical structural elements, and a roof constructed of roof slats that extend from a central hub situated at an apex of the roof, at least one solar powered light attached to the gazebo, and a solar collector and cell assembly for powering the at least one solar powered light.

Abstract: A vehicle barrier arranged for moving from a first position that permits a vehicle to move past the vehicle barrier to a second position that prevents a vehicle from moving past the vehicle barrier, and a light mounted on the vehicle barrier that moves with the vehicle barrier, wherein when the vehicle is in the first position the light is illuminated in a first color (e.g., green) and in the second position the light is illuminated in a second color (e.g., red).

Abstract: A garden light assembly including a solar cell assembly adapted for supplying electric current, at least one light mounted on a mounting plate and in electrical communication with the solar cell assembly, and a refractor/reflector positioned to reflect outwards light rays emanating from the at least one light, the refractor/reflector including a curved surface concavely curved with respect to the at least one light.
