A solar LED lamp includes an envelope having a seat, a first sleeve extending from the seat and a second sleeve extending from the first sleeve. An LED lamp is received in the second sleeve of the envelope. The LED lamp includes a heat sink and a plurality of LEDs attached to the heat sink. A solar panel covers the second sleeve of the envelope for collecting solar energy and converting the solar energy to electrical energy. A storage battery is accommodated in the first sleeve of the envelope for reserving the electrical energy from the solar panel and providing electrical energy to the LED lamp. A solar controller controls the solar panel to convert the solar energy to the electrical energy or not.
