As I say, I've just got a free metal shed/cupboard (8x4 ft)...but I thought I could stick a few vivs in there containing cold climate species? Theres some 40V solar panels on ebay...has anyone done anything like this before....Thought I could run UV strip light off it....It's just a brainstorm really...

The output on these are low voltage not 230 volt so wont run your starter unit.
