I think for a future minecraft update there should be solar panels that can activate redstone. For example; during the day this panel could active some kind of contraption so you don't have to. Or you can even have one that works at night to active defenses, traps, ect.
Through the use of some redstone knowhow, a few pistons, and ingenuity, this is already possible.
I used to support solar panels, but since I found out how to build one with current mechanics I've had mixed feelings on making them into a separate block...

I like the idea of crystals instead of a panel. And it is possible to make something like this using pistons, redstone, ect. But I think a separate block would make this much simpler than a big maze of redstone and pistons.
I like the recipe but maybe we could make something besides a panel. I like the idea of the crystal since it seems more like minecraft compared to a modern-day panel. Maybe we could incorporate the enderman pearl to make a crystal. What do you think of that?
Since solar panels are black we could make the bottom of it obsidian but we really do need more rare blocks to build with, half the suggestions to make things in all threads have obsidian...
I guess gold would work just so I could get rid of those useless piles.

Actually, I thought about gold for the recipe because gold is (or was) sometimes used in some fine electronic devices for its great electrical conductivity. Plus powered rails and clocks are made out of gold, then gold that is rather useless for tools is a perfect material for technological devices.
The recipe with the diamond is cool, and something even cooler for the light detector would be a possibility to set its necessary light level to activate.
About the timer, another topic is about it.
I figured that because all the "technical" rails/tracks were made out of gold, why not make other sensors/devices out of gold? After all, it gives gold another use...
Great ideas and recipes, now if we could somehow get this into the game without using mods that would be awesome. I would still like to see everyone's ideas to see if we can fully develop this idea and maybe we can see this in minecraft in the future.

I do like the idea of activating traps only at night... Except: creepers. :dry.gif:

The good ol' grass detector? :cool.gif:

Light Detector (emits power if light level > 7):
Auto Timer (emits power during day):
