Solar energy bucket that holds water and the sun's rays
The solar energy bucket concept will add extra functionality to the common bucket, transforming it into an energy-gathering source to heat water or provide light.
The bottom of the bucket will be equipped with a small solar panel that, when the bucket is flipped over, will gather solar energy during the day. The bottom will be angled slightly for more efficient capture of the sun's rays, and the stored energy can then be used to power the built-in LED lights or slowly heat the water.
