A system and method for the display of solar-powered light fixtures in a commercial setting is disclosed in the instant application. The solar-powered light fixture is contained within a box which minimizes the effect of the ambient light from the light fixtures illuminating the commercial establishment. A window is constructed in the box to permit a potential buyer to observe the operation of the solar light fixture. When ready to observe the operation of the solar light fixture, the potential buyer pushes a button which activates an electrical circuit, causing the solar light fixture to emit light.
