This kit does not charge, rather it operates only while in direct light. Because the solar panel is small, it can require a good amount of energy for sufficient output. We kindly recommend trying one of the following: (Outdoors) Direct light from the sun (indirect or cloud-covered sunlight will not work). (Indoors) Direct light from an incandescent bulb (not an LED or an energy saver bulb).
