We are trying to make a display for our school and would like to include a solar panel to keep the lights running. The lights are a 12V LED multicolour strip. We might also want to have power for a couple of small devices. I have no clue what to do or where to start. Can anyone please direct me to some basic setup instructions (including needed supplies) for this type of project?
