Solar set up for hydroponic tent

[gpriebe83]

Hello everyone. I have zero experience or knowledge with electrical work or solar. I have a 50sqft hydroponic tent in my garage that I’m running on house power. I want to convert my wall outlet to be powered off solar. What do I need to do to make this happen? Do I need to calculate my watt usage first and then go shopping for panels or batteries or what? I’m mechanically inclined but I’ve never attempted a solar project before. Thanks everyone!!

Get a Kill-A-Watt and use it for a week to determine how much energy your setup uses.
