[QUOTE="steveR, post: 7295470, member: 66976"] 100 watt solar panel and a charge controller hooked to a big leisure battery or two, then run LED lighting from the battery. Something like this... [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100W-Watt-Solar-Panel-Kit-for-5-12V-Battery-Power-Charge-Controller-Home-RV-NJ/353187103859?hash=item523b978473:g:CAsAAOSwxj1fSNwV[/URL] The biggest factor that will need calculating is how much lighting you want, and how long for? If only intermittent usage when checking or at lambing times, a 80amp battery will probably suffice. These lights are OK I have found in my cattle yards! Might look at 12V striplights too? I use 4 10watt floods.
