Solar LED Lights in a Barn

Hi.

I need help to plan solar-powered DC lighting in a barn to replace the AC system. The barn is too far from ac voltage and solar DC LED seems the only way to go. Reconnecting a new AC meter and new power pole is too expensive.

Size: 3 compartments with no windows 20x25’ 20x15’ 10x10’ (6 LED fixtures at 1000 Lm each is enough?)

Ceiling height: 15’

Wire: existing 14 gauge interior wiring to 5 existing 100 Watt AC drop lights (approx 110’ of wire is in place)

25’ from interior connection point to mounting location on roof

Use: Daytime lights only, maximum 6 hours per day, LED DC lights only, no AC power needed.

Add: 2A 12V DC battery trickle charger for tractor battery.

Location: south Alabama

I will appreciate your advice as to which of your kits might help me.

Thank you
