Been thinking..........

Recently I wipped up a small grow box , instead of putting all my gear up for one plant, and chucked a seedling in it ......
It's got reflective walls , a 125w cfl and a hole in the top to vent out some heat/air....but no fans... 
I looked around at my fans and all were way to large to put into this small box ...........so I started looking at my other "junk" and found a small 3cmx3cm battery operated fan ,used to cool the electric motor in a remote control car , then installed it into my little grow box
But as it was battery operated the battery pack kept going flat on me and would go undetected untill I would go and have a look then would have to wait untill I charged the batteries and put them back in ....which was crap.....
Then I found an old solar powered garden light and started thinking .... 
..why cant I run this small battery powered fan on solar using my lamp as the sun
This sounded good to me 
....as long as solar panel didnt take up to much room ... the setup for the fan was cheap (small solar panel , solar controll unit , batteries and fan) ...the small fan could withstand running 24hrs a day (most arn't made to run 24/7) ...the light comming from the lamp was powerful enough to charge the batteries .... and light loss from the solar panel blocking the reflective material was minimal...
So guess what I am going to try soon ..... 
Dont know though ..... may cost to much to setup and I am way to cheap to spend money on something that may not work .....haha
