Hi all,
I am starting out in electronics, mainly building effects pedals for guitars, and I recently thought about using solar energy to heat and light 4 reptile enclosures.
Each enclosure has a 10watt evergy saving bulb for general light and a 75watt ceramic heat emitter for heating.
I thought about using this inverter....

and this battery....

I am wondering how many solar panels and what size panels I would need to power the 4 enclosures 24/7? The heating would be thermostat controlled and would not run 75watts all the time but would be on 24/7. The 10watt lights would only be on during the day, maybe 12 hours.
Sorry if my info is vague but I am a beginner and not sure what info is required. Also, does anyone have some helpful documents on setting up solar power for this sort of thing?
Thanks
Shane
