Solar Watts

So, how much power can I get out of my 50 watt panel. Well, the plan was to only run the ceil lights off of the solar panel. I have 5 low-energy lights at 14 watts each. That 70 watts hours. If we assume I run all the lights every night for 5 hours(which doesn't seem likely). I'll have 350 watt-hours of usage. I'd need to get 7 hours of good sunlight to get it back up to full.

In reality we tend to use maybe 70 watt-hours total per day. In which case, I'd easily be full after a 2 hour recharge. I'll probably run an experiment after it gets setup to see how long I can run the lights before the inverter cuts out. Actually, the inverter draws a little power too, so that may add in another hour of recharge time. I don't have the inverter stats handy.
