Solar for bird cage flights

[Lynnzer]

I currently have 3 large cages/flights for my birds ie, for the Planeta Large cages, and use defunct tropical marine full spectrum lights above them. The lights are expensive to run and I'd like to add solar LCD strip lights to the cages instead.

The window of the bird room is directly above my single story kitchen roof so I could perhaps put some sort of solar panel onto it.
I'm talking of 3 lights with a decent output that I'd need, and also a USB hub to connect 3 small cages.

1st of all, would this be practical? If so what would be needed to get a setup?

I'd prefer a battery storage system so that the lights can be on in early morning and late afternoon when it's normally dark outside.

Does this sound feasible and if so, what would I need to get moving on the project

Would need to know the power rating of the lights, and if they supply some heating as well as light.

 

As a rule of thumb, you will get 10% of the available light as electrical power.  So this does depend on angles.

You can play around with PVGIS to get an idea of the amount of light available.

Usually PV modules are fitted outside, they get more light and run cooler.  But as this is a relatively small system, placing one by a window should not hamper it too much.
