1. A method of assembling a solar light kit, comprising:
connecting a first printed circuit board (PCB) comprising an array of light sources and a set of leads and a second PCB comprising a plurality of electrical ports, wherein connecting the first PCB and the second PCB comprises aligning the set of leads on the first PCB with a first electrical port of the plurality of electrical ports on the second PCB and applying pressure between the first PCB and second PCB;
inserting the connected first PCB and second PCB to a PCB housing, wherein the connected first PCB and second PCB fit within the PCB housing in one orientation;
connecting the PCB housing and a battery housing enclosing a rechargeable battery by aligning an end of the PCB housing with an end of the battery housing and applying pressure between the PCB housing and the battery housing;
inserting the connected PCB housing and battery housing into a casing; and
connecting a solar panel to a second electrical port of the plurality of electrical ports on the second PCB using a connector cable, wherein the connector cable is removably connectable to the solar panel and to the second electrical port.
