How I can draw current from the solar cell?

I have solar cells approximately 3-4 times the size found in a calculator. I measured and volts, and gives a decent amount of production in both values. Now, I need to illuminate an LED with solar cells. So I have to know how to do that. I read that you need a battery to store solar energy, which in turn used to light any appliance. So that, do I need a battery that can store solar energy and only then I can use it to light LEDs? If so, what kind of battery I need? Where I can get? (Stores like hobby shops, appliance stores or online) Thanks. Help would be appreciated and rewarded:) (also if all reference sites are available, please post)

There are many ways you could do it. Simply connect the LEDs in the cells Sun will start. However, this method has some problems. The LEDs only illuminate when there is light that illuminates the cells. Voltage fluctuations is so great, it almost certainly blow the leds. The LED light can vary from zero to maximum. In other words, no control. The use of any storage mechanism would be preferable. You could use capacitors, inductors, gravity, inertia, to name a few. Most have their own problems with one of how extract and control the flow of energy. By far the simplest is to use the battery with a charge controller (only really needed if you have large, well-laden tables batteries). For application, use the smallest 12v SLA battery can lay your hands on. Then use a resistor in series with the leds control the LED current.
