One thing you do have to consider with solar lights is the limitations as far as location goes. If you have a lot of shaded area they won't receive enough sun to get a satisfactory and successful experience, so if you have a lot of shade, you can use them as fill-ins for those places with a lot of sun, while using electric incandescent or LED lights for the rest of your holiday light needs.  

Below I've included a number of types of solar Christmas lights you can choose from, beginning with string lights that are useful for all occasions.

While the initial cost of solar holiday lights will be higher, it can be offset by the free solar light display that comes from the panels. So it's up to you to figure out if it's worth it to you, but is is a way to go if you have enough open sun area to work with.
