Solar lights for RV storage yard

[Tyler Hardy]

Does anyone have any experience in solar lighting for a parking lot, or in this case, a boat and RV storage yard? With the cost and availability of wire and PVC I'm looking into this as an option. My first thoughts are that they would never be as bright as a wired in light but, will it do the job? Anyone have any good experience with a specific brand?

Thanks Bryan. Tyler this is just general solar info.  I'm not your man though.

1.  Call a solar person.

2.  Your concern is dependent if you go off the grid or not.  If your on the grid, your basically using the same system as all of us, thus no concern on dim lights.  If off the grid, depends on your Battery storage.  This is a far more expensive option (2 to 3 times) and you have to maintain batteries.

3.  Check with your electric company and tell them what you want to do.  See what credits they give you versus the usage you will have.  Have your electrician identify the lights and calculate the KWH usage.
