What do i need to do to run my garden electrics (pond Pumps & Garden Lighting) from a solar panel?

By admin | April 12, 2008

recycleeasy asked:

I run 2 pond pumps and 4 sets of garden lighting through my electricity supply and would like to change this so it runs from solar power panels on top of my garage roof.
Can anyone give me advice on what size panels I need, how many and how i actually install this.
Please help as I would love to cut down my carbon footprint but want to keep my garden looking pretty.

      The day to run garden lights during the day to run at night would you want to 120 voltac.
      The total wattage of the pumps and purchase solarpanel larger than needed why would you want.
      The total wattage of the pumps and power converter for 12vdc to 120 voltac.
      For 12vdc to 120 voltac.
