6x 2000F Super Caps [charged to 15V ] Runs DC DC Boost Regulator Converter (Input Wide 15V > 4V - Output Regulated 12V)> Inverter 12V DC to AC and runs a 12W Mains LED for 1 Hour 15 mins
This little Set-up be ideal for sheds / out houses / storage or workshop tents
where your only in them for 5 mins or less (at a time) to a hour (Per day)
ideal set-up would be to use 100W Mono > First DC DC Boost regulator to take the variable input range of the solar panel (Wide range +12V > 4V) and up convert it to 15V DC Feed this past a blocking Diode into a Super Cap Bank > Switch | Pneumatic Time Delay Switch ie set to switch off the light after 1 mins or 60 mins after being pressed > Second DC DC Boost regulator converter Wide Input 15V to 4V > to make a Regulated 12V > Feed a 12V DC to AC Inverter > Mains AC LED (12W) 100W
Pneumatic Time Delay Switch

Due Super caps are not Lead acids You can Deep Draw them to 0V
Sadly due the min voltage of the DC DC Boost Regulator is 4V / 3V
