I think there's a hole in the roof, and the bottles are refracting the light from the sun. They don't glow or anything.

people use light bulbs in the day time too, with rooms with no windows, like that lady had.

They are just a very basic type of skylight. The bleach is just added to stop the water from going stagnant and turning cloudy... I can't see how it puts out an electrical charge, unless they're just measuring the solar output...
