outdoor lighting solar
Help with a simple outdoor solar lighting system?
Hello, I want to have some light on my shed.
I was thinking on solar lighting. I have a 8xAA rechargeable battery from a toy car and I’m going to buy a solar panel, what kind do I need?
Do I need something else? What is a “solar panel controller”?
How I connect everything? What kind of bulbs are better?
Lots of questions! Thanks for your help!

PS. I WANT to build it, I know there are very cheap ones out there, but the objective is to learn a bit of electricity (positives and negatives and all that).
You need a panel, 5W is maybe fine, possibly 10W. 12V nominal.
You need a charge controller to prevent the batteries from overcharging.
You should use LED lighting.
I would prefer a Sealed Lead Acid cell.
It won’t be very cheap.
