If only about 100ft you can get a roll of under ground wire for less than $60, cut your grass real low----take a lawn edger and go from point A to point B----2 or 3 timed cutting a little trench about as wide as your finger---clean it out with your finger, lay the wire in this shallow ditch----cover it and remember its there(no digging on that line)---hook up each end and your done.
I went to harbor freight and bought their solar set up I added three batteries in. I also added a 12 inverter for my fan.
That's what I was thinking he should start out with. Its according to the battery size but if the 3 are deepcycle it probably want keep them charged like they should be---being its only 45 watt max, but I have used 2 deep cycle for a long time and they did pretty good.
Have you tried these out yet. I was looking at them. I wanted to use them just to add light in the winter when I go out to check water and feeders before I leave for work and then in the evening when I go out after work, probably 2-3 hours a day. I liked the idea of the remote so I can turn it on and off from the house so I wouldn't have to go stumble into the dark. I also like the hi low feature so I could lower the light gradually in the evening. I have been going back and forth between these and a regular utility light as I have to run an extension cord anyways to heat water in the winter.
