Simple solar power project to light your farm / cow shed / sericulture shed - Part 2
This is a project I wanted to complete for a long time since we didn't have a reliable light source for my sheds. Often my parents had to walk around in the dark with a torch or emergency lamp to check on the cows. Everything I have used to build this project is available in ebay (India) at affordable price points.
1) First decide what kind of light and how many you want use for how long in a day
2) Based of which calculate the amps needed (watts * Volts)
3) use the calculator from link to decide the battery size - http://www.batterystuff.com/kb/tools/...
4) Based on the load choose a charge controller and a solar panel
5) To house the electronics buy a steel box from the local electrical store
6) If you can create a mount at your local welding shop, do it
7) Make it fun with the remote control add on
Please comment in case you have any questions.
