First project questions - Solar powered LED's

Projects General Guidance
1

I am required to do a project using the Arduino board and would like to implement the following but unsure how or if it is possible as I have not worked with Arduino before.

Basically would like to connect a mini solar panel to a few capacitors, these capacitors light up a few LED's, say 6.
The capacitors cannot receive more than a set amount of voltage, say 10 volts.

A few things I will need to do:

*Switch on the LED's
*Control when the solar panel stops charging the capacitors i.e don't charge over 10 volts worth.
*Show current remaining voltage/ amount of time remaining LED's will be powered.
*Start charging capacitors again once low
*Switch off LED's

Did try to search for this but didn't quite get what I'm looking for.
Just require some general guidance and to be set off in the right direction since I'm new to this.

load the arduino program and look at the examples.

most of what you want is there.

But please SKIP the "Blink" sketch. Delay is a horrible tool to start newbies on.

Go right to "Blink without delay" and "debounce".

What will power the Arduino?
