Howdy... I have a 110v. 60w, 2 gal. heated bucket that I'd like to run off solar panel to keep poultry water from freezing this winter. I have a Harbor Freight 45 watt panel. The bucket's thermostatically controlled to come on at 40 deg or so. I'm in western Pennsylvania which is zone 5 on the solar insolation map, also zone 5b on a climatic zone map. I'm just guessing that given enough batteries this might be doable, though I have no idea what I need in terms of battery capacity. Any input appreciated!
thanks.... Gary
