=== [[Fridge Defrost Timer with Solar Trigger Option]] ===
The [https://vimeo.com/177809415 project video] shows a fridge timer which can be set to defrost on sunny days so the defrost cycle never uses valuable battery power on cloudy days. It is switchable to act like a regular defrost timer for long cloudy stretches of time, like winter.

This is using two LEDs to sense the sun and send power to satellite arm motors to turn solar panels toward the sun. You could also use this to turn on an irrigation motor for a very short time every several hours.
