Converting electric lamps to solar power

I recently obtained two old glass lamps. The lamp shades were trashed and the electric cords need to be trashed. So, basically, I have two very nice small glass lamp bases. Rather than replace the electric parts, I would like to outfit them to be solar powered. So I am looking for either instructions or, ideally, a kit. Any ideas?

Thank you!

It can be done but the light output will likely be so small as to be useless. How about making them into candle holders?

Didn't think of that - might be tricky, but worth working on. thanks for the suggestion.
