Yes, I made a mistake on the circuit I popped out of my head.

I gave up trying..
I forgot in the last circuit about the emitter lifting .
Yes, JF, I made a mistake.. But In any case this will work with a
3 Volt PV.. and a 1N5817 type Schotty will work for this. How ever, since it's obvious that a single PV isn't going to do shit to aid in charging or supplying power for a solar device like this, it's only assume that a multi-cell unit would be in use.The original posting was to simply use a PR, (Photo Resistor) to switch. I am offering both here with one device.
