I'm building a chicken coop at the back of my property and I can't run a power line all the way out to it. I will need enough electricity to run 1 60 watt bulb all day and night and another 60 watt bulb for maybe 3-4 hours. Can this be accomplished for under $500-600 and would it work in the middle of winter in Iowa?
If a solar panel wouldn't produce enough electricity, is there some way to charge a battery from my house and swap it out at the coop and have it last maybe a week?
Or would I just need more batteries in a solar panel setup?
Is it a waste of time?
Any and all ideas welcome,
Thanks!
