or how many watts? i dont use much electricity. i have on a couple of lights and a computer, now and again the tv. how many solar panels would i need to power persons constantly throughout the day, and maybe charge batteries for night? the air, refrigerator and hot water heater i would still use fixed electricity.

I want to use 12vDc rope lighting that is 3 watts per foot and i am looking to use approx 64 ft of light. I am probably only going to have the lights on for 3-4 hours at night. I will be running the lights off a 12 volt car battery. What wattage will my solar panel need to be to recharge the battery all through the day. I would appreciate any help, Thank You! I am also looking at led lighting that is only 0.8 watt per foot.

How many solar panels do I need to run my two bedroom townhouse? Are there different solar panels? How many solar panes to produced 1 KW of electricity?
