Requirement : To light a 14 - 20 watt DC lamp for 7 hours a day
Hello friends.. I just wanna make a simple solar powered outdoor light for my farm house where there is a frequent power cut. The temperature is generally very high in my place Today the temperature here is 109 degree.. Iam a complete newbie when it comes to this project. I have read an guide by Jeffrey Yago from the following page :http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles2/yago92.html.
From this above guide, i came to an understanding that it requires 4 main components to go ahead with this project. 1. solar array 2. charge controller 3. a battery 4. DC Lamp.
I can easily get battery and light in my place. But i have to source solar array and charge controller. The problem is i don't know which solar array and charge controller to get for lighting a 40-50 watt light. Will the following product get the job done for me??

Please help me with selecting the right the solar array, high efficiency D.C. lamp, charge controller, and a battery. As this should be the first step to my project.
Thank you
