  • Solar Power Chicken Coop...

    Hello,

    I have been looking at getting solar for my chicken coop. The problem is I dont know what I am doing or looking for. I have watched a lot of youtube trying to get an idea and well I am still lost.

    I want to run a few things on the coop

    1) automatic door opener (running now off house power) http://www.amazon.com/Add-A-Motor-Ch...cken+door+coop
    2) Timer for the door opener ( running now off house power) http://www.menards.com/main/electric...29-c-12389.htm
    3) Heated water bowl (running now off house power) http://www.orschelnfarmhome.com/all-...si5182757/cl1/
    4) and a light( in coop but not on) ( http://www.orschelnfarmhome.com/broo...si5186927/cl1/

    I have tryed to get the spec on watts for these items but not as easy as it looks. I know I need a battery, control box, inverter and a solar panel, cables for battery. Woud the solar power kit from harbor frieght run all of this.(its only 45watts)

    Water bowl says 100watts (just the winter time)
    Chicken door opener- I think is 110v/15a ( from questions about the item) (year round)
    Timer- not a clue just a indoor one (its inside the coop)(year round)
    Light-Doesnt say that I can see. (only run durning really cold weather)

    Sorry for all the questions, and sorry if this is in the wrong thread.
