I enjoy doing DIY project with the hope of starting my own business one day. I'm currently in school for automotive mechanics but have already been to college for welding. I do projects with 3D designs and 3D printing, I mostly work with arduino. I also design my own PCBs and fix electronic items.

what plan did you choose for the api? and does it show sunrise/sunset or would i have to program that?

- cool austin commented on RoeyLeon's instructable Solar Panel Lighting2 years agoView Instructable »
you would need to know the wattage of the lights (volts x amps) then multiply that number by how many hours you expect to have the lights on. the solar panel should be the size of that number or higher. eg: I want to run a 12v light that draws 2 amp so 12x2 = 24w and If i run it for 3 hours then the solar panel needs to be 72 watts. I would choose higher to account for potential lack of sunlight on odd days and for panel efficency
I think this project is awesome. I'm think of making one into a workshop clock... so much so that I've done a PCB with arduino nano, RTC module. is designed to be expandable and all inclusive. also added the 3D files for it. I'll probably build it once I get my solder oven on order. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dY8juODO2_8eVJrgNFmTK-Mj2VuRPNkv?usp=sharing cheers and keep up the creative work.
