Looks promising!

Try adding some reflective stuff in the box walls and ceiling perhaps?

Great work,
and great title (potential) I wish more people would use that kind of title.
I have seen this type of setup a few times and I think it has a real future especially when you consider the advances being made in solar technology and lighting, with all the work on  drive circuits going on it may not be that long for a true self-runner.

A box made out of mirrors, or line your box with aluminium foil might well help.
I have also seen solar cells with lots of little magnifying glasses on them.
maybe if you made the whole box out of solar cells and then suspended the light in the middle.

only a few ideas,
I wish you all the best

You can just send the power from the solar cells into another separate battery and recharge it. Then when it is recharged just swap it with the main battery powering the setup. Or keep it going or recharge others.

That kind of statement reminds me of the Bendini arguments that went on for years about batteries 
needless to say we are not running our homes on Bendini motors,very good research it was though

I think it would be much better if you could use a capacitor, too many of us have seen claims of OU Using batteries that turned out not to be.

And as for measuring batteries, that goes into thousands of pages from what I have seen over the years. and still the arguments will go on.

I'm not trying to put you off, I really like what you're trying to do but if you can try it with out batteries.

All the best
