You've picked some good stuff, like the Arduino and ESP8266. Just thinking about those 10W LEDs you mentioned - make sure they're not too bright or too dim for your space. Sometimes, using LED strips can give you a nicer light without using too much power.

Also, that current sensor and the DC-DC converter you're using are smart choices, but just make sure they fit well with your setup so you don't lose any power you don't need to.

For the battery, bigger is usually better because it means your lights won't run out too quick, especially on days when the sun doesn't shine as much.

On this website, you will find articles and guides for all your chosen parts + some other settings from which you can inspire.

Wow, that's a great setup. The best part is that you can control and keep an eye on everything using the RemoteXY interface. Btw, what do you think about solar panels dublin? I've heard a lot of good things about them.

Nice project, which hw do you use to charge the battery with solar panels?

Hi guys
let me present you my solar installation for my terrace illumination consisting of :

Solar panels (2x 20W)
12V Battery (12A.h or more)
10W LED (4x)
Battery Charger
12V relay
Arduino Leonardo
brightness sensor (photo cell)
WIFI Module ESP8266
real time module DS3231
current sensor ACS712
DC-DC converter (12V->9V)
and of course a RemoteXY INterface to control and watch the system.
