Yes, in the evening but the concept here is we could keep it charged by
shining a light on it in the off hours ... which would be
considerable... so that the LED's would light when during display time...
My questions would be: How big physically would a solar cell be that
was capable of providing power for LED's and where would one look for
such and are they terribly expensive?

Don't power it with a battey. A solar cell is probably the best way
since
it will not produce much heat. To run LEDs you should not need a lot of
current so normal room lighting should be sufficient to energize the
solar cells..
