soopd Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I am in need of some expert advice on a DIY solar panel set up. My 21' carport is a long way from my house. I am wanting to put a solar panel to run 1 outlet that will handle my minkota 3 bank charger. The only other thing is maybe putting a couple of led light bulbs under the carport. Any ideas? Quote
junyer357 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 What is your definition of a "long distance"? Quote
soopd Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 A little over 200'. I can run electrical from house. However, I would have to go under a driveway and go around water lines to bury. Figured it would be easier and cheaper to set up a small solar cell. Quote
