What appliance in his hen house?

In Jeremy's hen house, the solar system is total off-grid.  The following are a few things that a solar panel can power in his coop:
  • Lights
  • Automatic Chicken Coop Door (or pop door)
  • Electric Poultry Netting
  • CCTV

What solar system in Jeremy's Chicken Coop?

  • 200W solar panel 1pcs
  • MPPT solar charge controller
  • 1set 12V Battery

As there are no AC appliance, so no need a inverter to put DC to AC

How to Go Off-Grid Solar For Your Chicken Coop?

Step 1: Pick Your Panel 

Positioning the angle can be a little more challenging because the sun moves across the sky at varying angles based on the season. A rule of thumb is to set the angle of the panels at roughly the angle of your latitude.
A 550W solar panel would be a nice chooise.

Step 2: Deciding Between AC and DC

You have two choices on your circuit to run the light or fan in your solar-powered chicken coop. Each has positive and negative attributes.

For a DC fan and light, direct current is a very simple setup.

Run a wire from the battery to the device and back to the battery to create a continuous circuit (5a). You can install a timer between the light or fan and the battery to turn them on or off as needed (5b).

For an AC fan and light: Someone moving from a standard power source to a solar option is usually already set up with an outlet for the coop.

For this scenario, it might be easier to stick with the standard AC (alternating current) configuration. This option requires a power inverter to convert the DC power to AC power. For solar operations, a tie-in clamps to the battery and has a female plug-in for the inverter. From there, you can plug in the appliances.

Whether you’re looking for a portable power source or want to step away from the traditional option, using a small generator in a solar-powered chicken coop is an excellent way to keep your hens happy.

Step 3: Deciding Battery

A standard deep-cycle 12-volt battery will work for a simple light and fan. Before selecting something, keep in mind: The battery will run down quicker in cold temperatures. And it might not charge as well in extremely hot regions.
1set battery is enough.

Step 4: Make the Connections

A charge controller is necessary so you don’t overcharge and “cook” your battery.

Connect the charge controller between the panels and the battery so only a certain number of volts can flow into the battery. If it overcharges, it can explode.

Charge controllers also provide protection from the current running backward to the solar panel. Keep the battery setup in a weather-resistant, but not airtight, container that protects against the majority of bad weather.

In Conclusion

Finding a solar panel can be a difficult journey, but if you find the right one, it can last you for years. A large investment in high-quality solar panels can pay off in the long run. Remember to do your research and plan well when purchasing!

We hope you find the perfect solar panel for you and your chickens! Thanks for stopping by and happy ‘Chickening.’
