Solar Lighting Kit for Single Horse Stable\Barn (12 × 12 ft)

Off-grid LED lighting system designed to provide reliable, year-round lighting for a single horse stable or barns.

For animal welfare, feeding and inspection, a stable should have around 150–200 lux of lighting. A 12 × 12 ft stable (approx. 13.3 m²) requires roughly 2,600–2,700 lumens to achieve this. This output is provided by two 1,250 lumen LED lights.

Typical energy use for this setup is around 120–156Wh for 6 hours of daily operation. To maintain this performance through winter, including low-light conditions in northern UK locations, the system is sized with 3 × 450W solar panels. Modelling solar generation through a year is shown below.

What’s included

Solar panels
3 × 450W monocrystalline solar panels. Sized to maintain sufficient generation even in winter months. Suitable for roof mounting on most stable structures.

Battery storage
12V 105Ah LiFePO4 (lithium) battery to store energy for evening use. Provides stable performance and long cycle life.

MPPT charge controller
100A MPPT controller to efficiently manage charging from the panels and protect the battery. Supports high input power and improves winter performance.

LED lighting
2 × 1,250 lumen LED batten lights (12V/24V). Bright, efficient and suitable for stable environments. Optional upgrades include PIR sensors or dimming.

Mounting system
Roof mounting kit for corrugated fibre cement sheets as standard. Alternatives available for other roof types.

Cables and switching
All required cabling and switches to allow practical control of lighting in stalls and working areas.
