Hello all, newbie here. I have a detached garage that I want to be able to run a 1/2 HP garage door opener and a few LED lights. Nothing fancy. I know the opener uses a out 750 watts. I was planning on using 12v lighting. Generally speaking, the door would only be opened and closed about 3-4 times a week max as it is generally used for storage. I was hoping to use one battery, an inverter, charger controller and one panel. My problem is that I don't know how big of a battery or panel I would need. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
