Solar light questions anyone out there that can help?

We built a tiki hut, I would like to have a flickering single candle (to put it in a lantern) that runs off solar. I know I can buy the battery operated ones, or plug but don't want to keep buying batteries and there is no electric out in this hut. Do you know if I can buy a small solar panel from one set of lights cut it, take a flickering candle cut that cord and connect it to this solar panel to make it work/flicker? I need this candles from the flickering part to the panel to be about 20' will this work and thank you very much!!!!!!
