It's basically an inflatable ball with a weighted base so that it floats (or hangs) with the solar panel facing up, and sunlight passing through the globe charges the battery. It's not very bright, but still very visible as an illuminated feature. The colours can be selected with a remote control. One of the biggest surprises about this globe is that it is based on a NiMh battery. The 1.2V to 3.3V step up chip is a 2309S five-pin device that seems to be designed specifically for solar applications. I drew a blank when I searched online for it.
