A solar panel assembly includes a solar panel and a module releasably coupled to the solar panel. The solar panel includes a front surface, a rear surface, and a plurality of solar cells provided along the front surface. The plurality of solar cells are configured to absorb light energy from a light source to generate electrical power. The module includes a support that is selectively repositionable between a first orientation and a second orientation and a load device attached to the support and electrically coupled to the plurality of solar cells such that the module stores electrical energy produced by the plurality of solar cells.
