A solar panel is operably connected to a power capacitor and associated circuitry which includes at least one diode for ensuring correct current flow direction. The power capacitor is inside a cartridge which is has exterior electrical contacts and overall dimensions enabling it to fit into the space intended for and replace at least one conventional battery. The exterior contacts, in conjunction with the power capacitor and associated electrical circuitry, enable provision of direct current (DC) electrical power of appropriate voltage and amperage to various electronic devices: cellular telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), compact disc (CD) and digital video disc (DVD) players, infrared and radio remote controllers, and other low power consumption devices including radios, alarms and calculators, etc.
