So in an attempt to learn about solar (and teach my son) I bough a Renogy 100Watt panel, a Wanderer controller, and was planning to get an AGM battery. I bought the cables to attach the panel to the controller and the controller to the batt.
Whoops - this should probably be its own topic but I don't know how to do that now that it is posted?? :-\
This is a sticks and bricks project with the possibility to move it over to the RV.
Do those of you with solar think I can keep an outside light on all night? My goal is just to keep it lightly lit with an LED and make it look secure at 3:00am - my wife likes some light around. I am not trying to light up my yard just the sidewalk and stuff.
I was just going to get a Sams club AGM battery and not sure if I should run the wiring to the basement to keep the Batt warm in these Pennsylvania winters or is it OK to leave outside?
Would I be better off with a 12 volt LED or an inverter and 110 Volt LED?
The system is designed to be expandable to 400 Watts.
I hope I learn enough from this project to move onto bigger things.
