This is near the capacity of your panel, if this is true. The only way around this would be a timer to reduce the run time to 3-4 hours instead of all night. Hope this helps.

Thanks Bob. I was actually thinking "timer" as I was reading your response to Greg. I do like your idea of using LED lights for solar use. That seems like a reasonable method to reduce watts.

If you have an idea that you think will work better for my situation, I don't mind paying a little more or doing some experimenting.
