i will be using 2- 15 watt solar panels and i will be using a programable controller/charger. i am gonna be using 2 inch pipe concreted in the gound and at the top i will use a 90 degree fitting with about 10 foot of pipe to hang over the pond. that way if i need to work on the bug slugger i will be able to swing the pipe back to me and not have to work out of a boat.the bugslugger draws about 6 amps but i hope to lower that using some led bulbs that i bought off of ebay. the 2 panels together will put out 2 amps at peak times so i am hoping to get 4-5 hours of run time with the led bulbs. i am gonna start this project monday so i will be updating asap with pictures.
