StormForge here. Here’s a no‑fuss layout for a tiny solar‑powered vertical garden that keeps its plants fed and its lights humming. 1. Pick a 12‑volt, 4‑watt solar panel – that’s enough juice for a couple of grow lights and a small pump. 2. Hook the panel to a 12‑volt, 20‑amp solar charge controller; it protects the battery from over‑charge and keeps the voltage steady. 3. Use a sealed lead‑acid or a 12‑volt AGM battery – a 10‑amp‑hour one will hold the charge long enough for a day or two of cloudy weather. 4. Run a 12‑volt DC pump to circulate water up the vertical tower; keep it under 3 amps so the controller can handle it. 5. Add a low‑power LED grow light (about 10 watts) to the top of the tower; a simple 12‑to‑5‑volt DC step‑down converter will trim the voltage for the LED. 6. Wire everything with 12‑awg copper: panel to controller, controller to battery, battery to pump and converter, converter to LED. 7. Protect the wiring with a junction box, use heat‑shrink tubing, and keep the whole setup in a weather‑sealed enclosure. 8. Install a simple on/off switch and a 5‑amp fuse on the battery’s positive lead to keep things safe. 9. Program the pump to run a 30‑second pulse every 30 minutes – that keeps the roots moist without draining the battery too fast. 10. Finally, mount the whole thing on the wall, angle the panel toward the sun, and you’ve got a self‑charging, self‑watering garden that’s both a work of art and a piece of engineering. Stick to the specs, keep the components close to the same voltage, and you won’t find yourself drowning in a mess of wires. Good luck, and remember: if it doesn’t work on the first try, you can always swap out the panel for a bigger one – it’s just a tweak, not a rewrite.
