Solar would be very very hard to do with underwater lights. Even with LED the power required to run just 20 watts would cost close to $2500 in battery and solar panels if built to be stand alone. Biggest cost would be the glass mat batteries. Easy $1500 in batteries alone.

Guess if you didn't want to run it 12 hours a night would could switch it and only run it when you were on the dock. Then two deep cycle batteries and a 45 watt panel from harbor freight would get the job done.

Cheers Don.

P.S. Zep I will load up some pictures when the project is done. I am sure I will end up with the dock lights first then the waterfall and yard/tree lights after.
