Doctor Kemp’s solar lamp was lit, albeit the sky was still bright with the sunset light, and his blinds were up because there was no offence of peering outsiders to require them pulled down.
Doctor Kemp was a tall and slender young man, with flaxen hair and a moustache almost white, and the work he was upon would earn him, he hoped, the fellowship of the Royal Society, so highly did he think of it.
He was visible again for a moment, and again, and then again, three times between the three detached houses that came next, and then the terrace hid him.

 Solar urticaria
Solar urticaria (SU) is an abnormal reaction to sunlight or artificial light.
Solar urticaria sometimes develops in patients who are taking a drug (aspirin and morphine-like medicines) or are exposed to a particular chemical.
Usually, a doctor diagnoses the condition, often using phototesting (where an instrument studies the effects of light on the skin) and blood tests to confirm the diagnosis.

 BBC TV SERIES DOCTOR WHO HISTORY | ROBOTS, ANDROIDS AND CYBERNETIC ORGANISMS - THE FUTURE OF MANKIND.
Doctor Who was ranked third in a list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes of the 20th century, produced by the British Film Institute in 2000 and voted on by industry professionals.
No first-run episode of Doctor Who has ever drawn fewer than three million viewers on BBC One, although its late 1980s performance of three to five million regular viewers was seen as being poor at the time, and was a leading cause of the programme's 1989 suspension.
It has been said that watching Doctor Who from a position of safety "behind the sofa" (as the Doctor Who exhibition at the Museum of the Moving Image in London was titled) and peering cautiously out to see if the scary bit was over is one of the great shared experiences of British childhood.

 Short Trips: The Solar System
Attempting to broker a peace, the Doctor talks to the Queen ants of both colonies; in the process he discovers that all the ants are in fact mechanical, the ‘descendants’ of an invention by John Stanley Thornton III — Jacob’s great-grandchild.
The Doctor and Evelyn learn that events are being caused by Hepton — seeing the emergence of a gestalt telepathic entity from within the Red Spot as a threat to Lorannon-Ycole’s mining operation, Hepton plans to destroy the creature by using the dredger as a gigantic bomb.
However, shortly after meeting married couple Hel and Keep, the Doctor is arrested by the authorities for “denial of retirement”; it seems that anyone reaching the age of one-hundred is retired from life on Saturn, and instead sent to the moon of Titan to carry out menial tasks for the betterment of their juniors.

My grandad has always had very scaly skin on his face and forehead but he has been told by his GP that these scaly areas are solar keratoses of the skin and that he needs to protect himself from the sun (he gardens a lot).
Solar keratoses, or actinic keratoses as they're more formally called, are patches of scaly, dry skin caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun.

 Eichler Network: Eichler House Doctor - Solar Power
While some buyers may consider solar power a positive, others may be intimidated by technology they don't understand and don't want to maintain — even though most solar-panel manufacturers claim the only maintenance required is periodic cleaning (the same way one washes windows) and that systems failures are rare (there are no moving parts).
Normally this type of solar system is designed so that the batteries are only drawn on when the grid is down — if they were used nightly the battery life would be much shorter.
Ultimately, solar power may be used to produce hydrogen gas to power fuel cells, which then will be able to generate electricity for home use.
