My experience with emergency exit lighting (admittedly overseas working in a 
theatre) is that they run from rechargeable batteries, as they don't have to 
last long in the event of a power failure, the battery will be small capacity. 
Probably the same sort of sealed lead acid batteries that we use - as a result, 
the charging could be the same - just use a small solar panel. 

Whether that complies with any regulations is another matter !!

The battery needs changing every few years - we had a power failure mid 
performance and all of the exit sign lighting failed as the batteries were dead 
- the system installed had no way of manually cutting the power individually to 
test.
