Let me first start by saying thanks for allowing me to join your forum. I love learning new things. With that being said I literally know nothing about solar power, except that i would need a 12 volt battery, and a panel. How big of a panel or how big of a battery I have no idea. But this is what im trying to do.
I want to put a small off grid system into my big deer stand so that my daughter or my wife can tag along and be comfortable. I would like to run 2 very small green lights in the deer stand so that when its dark, or im swapping scopes etc I can see. Other than that I would like my daughter to be able to watch videos on her ipad with headphones to keep her occupied while charging the ipad at the same time so that she is comfortable so that I can sit longer.
im pretty sure i need a panel, but i do not know what kind of what size
i know i need a 12 volt battery but i do not know what kind or size. do i need a car battery or something smaller like a lawnmower battery
i think i need a charge controller but do not know what kind or what size.
i don't know if i need an inverter, as i planned to wire the the lights to the switch, and the switch to the battery. do i need an inverter?
is there anything that im missing? i would like a good reliable system that will do what i need efficiently, but don't want to spend more than i need to, to do so.
any help would be appreciated.
