How do I equip my greenhouses with solar powered grow bulbs?
I wish to use solar energy to run grow bulbs inside greenhouses in order to achieve extended gardening season in central Ohio. I will have one large green house, and multiple smaller ones. I would like power storage capacity on at least the larger one.

Call Dennis at Solarcure at (800) 600-8118. He sells special lights for greenhouses. I am not sure about the "solar energy" part, but i think he could help you at least explore some options. He is a really knowledgeable guy. Best wishes!
I found this. Not sure if it’s what you need.

solar power is stored in batteries, its gathered by the solar panels, you may need an inverter to use dc current/ac current. I have a set of 4 panels that recharge the battery on my camper. you need to contact the company that makes the panels-they will calculate how many panels should light your greenhouse up. it can be pricy. you need to check local codes as well. most solar farms in my area are out in the "boondocks" if you have the space, the panels can be mounted on a rotator device to follow the sun,
