found this in the yard today its about the size of a mason jar lid. by looking at the inside i think it is a lid. any ideas? willy.

It seems to look like a lantern top to me, and the "Solar" name would be a logical connection also.

This is what I came up with:

I would agree that makes sense!

Never seen one of those before. Some of the members on here are so good at identifying things that I would have had no idea on what it was I don't know how you do it sometimes
