Don't know about solar panels as such,
but I do know about cheap garden lights
They have a rechargeable battery in there (AA or AAA)
and that is usually what goes bad after a year.
Each light can have one or more battery, the bigger lights
or strings can have three or four batteries.
I buy replacement rechargeable batteries at amazon for not much $$$,
usually get many times the life from my garden lights.
Plus I upgrade to a more powerful battery than
the cheap ones they can install from new,
which makes the lights stay on longer.
I have some string type lights similar to those pictured below
going around the patio cover and they sometimes stay on
until dawn in the summer.
